Hush Harbors were covert sites of resistance: hidden clearings where enslaved people gathered to worship, share knowledge, and find momentary freedom. This project reimagines Harmony Circle in New Orleans as a contemporary hush harbor, a place of refuge, memory, and gathering that directly confronts the site’s legacy as a platform for Confederate commemoration. This project won the 2025 ASLA emerging professional competition.
