Going to Ground

Visual Identity
2024

Going to Ground is a site-specific sculpture from artist Larissa Rogers that engages with the life of Zipporah Potter Atkins. In 1670, Potter Atkins became the first-known Black woman to own a home in Boston on land which is now cared for by The Greenway. Her history was brought to light by Dr. Vivian Johnson, Professor Emerita of Boston University, after 6 years of archival research.
