Portland Brick: a project in building public memory

What if our city could literally tell its own stories? Portland Brick is a place-based public art installation that tells the stories of moments that residents deem significant. Historical facts, individual memories, and future wishes for the city are stamped into bricks that have been customized to fill the gaps in the sidewalks.  In this way, the city’s stories literally repair the sidewalks.
