A Long Walk Home (ALWH), an arts organization that empowers young people to end violence against girls and women, is building an enduring monument to honor Rekia Boyd and Black Girlhood within Chicago’s Douglass Park in the North Lawndale neighborhood. The Rekia Boyd Monument Project follows a decade of public art activations in and around Douglass Park by ALWH’s Girl/Friends Leadership Institute. The project poses a central question: How do we build a monument that commemorates Rekia Boyd’s legacy and celebrates Black girlhood? The monument will be commissioned through an open call process for artists to collaboratively envision a public artwork that will also engage Black girls and young women as citizen-artists in the process of building the monument. The Rekia Boyd Monument Project is led by A Long Walk Home, in partnership with the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), Chicago Parks District, and Monument Lab, and is a part of the Chicago Monuments Project, which is supported by a grant from the Mellon Foundation. The monument will be commissioned through an open call process for Chicago-based and/or connected artists to collaboratively envision a public artwork, engaging Black girls and young women as citizen-artists throughout the process.
