Hart Island: Visualizing the One Million Lost

by Ani Matevosian and Gigie Hall

Hart Island has served as a mass burial site for marginalized individuals since 1869. This project visualizes and memorializes available records from 1980 onward, while emphasizing the missing and "unknown" data prior to that. Through tactile and historical reflection, the project fosters dialogue on memory, loss, and marginalized communities.
