The Remediation Forest is an innovative environmental installation by artist Jordan Weber, that explores the intersection of art, ecology, and social justice. The project transforms urban spaces into regenerative landscapes, addressing environmental disparities and promoting community healing through nature.

The park also showcases a powerful installation by Mind of Mila, an artist whose work seamlessly blends storytelling with activism. Mila’s Brown Skin Girl celebrates the beauty and diversity of women of color, challenging traditional beauty standards and amplifying underrepresented voices. Set amidst nature and artwork dedicated to uplifting communities of color, the installation serves as a poignant tribute to representation.

Phase 2 of the Remediation Forest will be unveiled, expanding its impact. Mind of Mila will contribute to a new mural which will highlight the rich history of East Canfield Village.  These artists’ work creates a broader dialogue on environmental justice and cultural restoration.

The Heidelberg Project is an internationally recognized public art installation founded by local artist, Dr Tyree Guyton, that has been thriving in Detroit’s McDougall Hunt neighborhood for 39 years. They are a catalyst for change, a platform for social justice and a cultural asset for Detroit.

The Heidelberg Project organization’s mission is to challenge the status quo, create a community for art, and cultivate a unique gathering space for all who seek inspiration outside museum walls. It is rooted in the theory of Heidelbergology: the study of artistic materials (from found objects to people) incorporated into the fabric and landscape of an urban community, and the effect within that community. It has three core concepts: Art is a Catalyst for Change, Art is Medicine, and Art is Abstract Advocacy.

The HP hosts artist residencies, tours and events throughout the year on its two block campus, and is open year round for visits from around the block, and around the world. For more information, please visit www.heidelberg.org or contact at info@heidelberg.org.

It is a celebration of adaptation, honoring the land’s endurance and resistance, and the creative possibilities that emerge from deeply rooted systems, organic, and synthetic intelligence.
