Community Remembered/Reconstructed/Reassessed: Detroit’s Chene Street Archives
This presentation examines the intangible heritage of Chene Street's neighborhood–once one of Detroit's “most vibrant commercial corridors,” today one of its most devastated and depopulated areas. We show how re-constructing individual stories from members of this community and building a digital archive/exhibition contributes to preserving Chene Street's heritage.
