For this year’s Native American Heritage Month, Jose Cotto, Utile’s Director of Community Engagement and Design Justice, was inspired by a recent North American Indian Center of Boston (NAICOB) post, where Board president Jean-Luc Pierite speaks about the three hills that once grounded what we know as present-day Boston. The memory of that landscape was carried forward by Phillip Young in his original logo for what was then the Boston Indian Council.
“A Landscape Remembered” is Cotto’s homage to Young’s original work: three hills, a river, and smoke signals moving between them. The “U” floats in the water, a reminder that at 115 Kingston St. we sit where the shoreline once was. Swipe to read more from Jose and to learn more about Phillip’s work.
Remembering is a beginning. What we do with that knowledge is the work.
