2020 The Douglas Dockery Thomas Fellowship in Garden History and Design
Eden of the Hinterlands: Reclaiming Asian-American Garden History
Yoni Angelo Carnice is a master’s student in landscape architecture at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. His project will contribute to the growing body of knowledge surrounding Asian American garden history through a focus on Cayuga Park in San Francisco, California, and its retired gardener, Demetrio Braceros. Carnice is particularly interested in artists like Derek Jarman (deceased) and Jamaica Kincaid, who use gardens to study and express a personal relationship to history, mortality, and community. Carnice’s work will result in a printed dossier, including a collection of the design research conducted.
