Naming the Lost Memorials (NTLM) was launched in May 2020 by a grassroots team of intrepid New York artists, activists, and folklorists, to create memorials for individuals lost to COVID-19 in New York City. From May 2020 to June 2021 we created ephemeral memorials on fences in all five boroughs and invited public participation in naming the lost. Recently we received a Mellon Foundation grant to continue our project from 2023-2025, beginning with a memorial installation and ceremony at Green-wood Cemetery, Brooklyn in May 2023.
