The Fashion Institute of Technology received a $182,444 project grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities under the Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program (CFDA 45.163) to deliver a series of one-week residential workshops exploring Italian American public art in New York City. The "Creative Spaces/Contested Spaces" project will strengthen place-based humanities teaching and learning by examining how monuments, landmarks, and public artworks are created, interpreted, and become sites of conflict, featuring diverse perspectives from history, art, social science, labor, and city planning. Participants will share ideas and resources to develop learning materials for dissemination on web-based platforms, enabling educators to incorporate critical, nuanced understandings of public artworks and their histories into higher education curricula. The project period runs from October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024.
