Adams’ presentation shared the work of his architectural design studio that responded to Providence Mayor Jorge Allorza’s commitment beginning in 2020 to a municipal reparations strategy following the death of George Floyd. Adams offered a community-engaged architecture design studio in collaboration with the organizers of Providence’s reconciliation framework, examining three sites of past trauma, utilizing design as a tool for reconciliation.
