I found this article in the New York Foundation for the Arts newsletter, and it sounds awesome.
ARTIST/ARCHITECT SANDRA VIEIRA AND THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY CREATE A SERIES OF LIGHTED LANTERNS, EACH REPRESENTING ONE OF BOSTON'S DECEASED HOMELESS
BOSTON, MA -- On Friday, December 20, 2002 at 4:00 PM, a Procession will begin at St. Paul's Cathedral, 138 Tremont Street in Boston and move directly across the street to the
Boston Common's Brewer Fountain located at the intersection of Tremont St. and Winter St.
In the Boston Common TEMPORAL MEMORIAL, a series of lighted lanterns -- created by artist and architect Sandra Vieira, working with the homeless community -- will commemorate homeless individuals of Boston who have passed away during the year.
At 5:00, after the Memorial ceremony, people are invited to attend the Third Annual 'SPEAK OUT' TO END HOMELESSNESS 2002 a Vigil on the Longest Night.
Temporal Memorial's purpose is to bring awareness to homelessness in the City of Boston and to create a ritual for the remembrance of the deceased. Boston Common was selected as the site of installation because it is a gathering place for many of the city's homeless population.
The project is sponsored by Visible Republic, a public art funding collaborative including New England Foundation for the Arts, LEF Foundation, The Boston Foundation- Arts Fund, and Fund for the Arts. Visible Republic is administrated by New England Foundation for the Arts.
