Since May 2020, a small team of artists, activists, and folklorists has been curating COVID-19 memorial sites in New York City to name victims of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each year, NTLM invites up to 30 partner organizations, representing NYC communities most impacted by the ongoing effects of the pandemic, to participate in the project through a series of workshops leading to the creation of annual, public memorials.
