Lenapeway, an installation by artist Beatrice Glow and The Wayfinding Project at the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU, will be on 24-hour view in the street-level windows of 715 Broadway (at Washington Place) from October 10 (Indigenous Peoples’ Day) to December 9, 2016. The location of the installation, which is viewable from the sidewalk 24/7 and is cosponsored by NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, marks the intersection of the main Lenape trail and a side-trail that traverses through present-day Washington Square Park.
To enrich the installation, Glow and The Wayfinding Project have partnered with NYU Grounds Manager George Reis to create a tour of NYU’s native plant gardens some of which are situated along the original Lenape trail. On October 18, 2016, the hour-long excursion and sensorial experience began at 715 Broadway—the site of the installation—and took guests to four of NYU’s eleven native plant gardens and through Washington Square Park.
