The inaugural work of the Lefferts Historic House museum’s first artist-in-residence debuts in Prospect Park next month. Artist Adama Delphine Fawundu‘s “Ancestral Whispers” is a site-specific installation honoring the heroism of the individuals enslaved by the Lefferts family from the farmhouse’s construction in 1783 to the abolition of slavery in New York in 1827. Inspired by research conducted by the Prospect Park Alliance, Fawundu created 25 fabric banners to be displayed on the museum’s Flatbush Avenue facade. The installation will be on view starting June 9.
