Adjaye set to create memorial dedicated to West African slaves in Barbados 🇧🇧

Not long after gaining independence, the country has enlisted architecture studio to design a memorial, museum and research institute focusing on the impact of slavery for Bridgetown, Barbados.

The studio continues "Drawing upon the technique and philosophy of traditional African tombs, prayer sites and pyramids, the memorial is conceived as a space that contemporaneously honours the dead, edifies the living, and manifests a new diasporic future for Black civilization,"

It has been estimated that almost 400,000 enslaved Africans were transported to Barbados during the 17th and 18th centuries, while the island was a British colony.
