generative participation
Participants were invited to respond to various prompts displayed throughout the exhibition space. This participation catalyzed both structured dialogue and informal discussion throughout the event.
a public forum
Our team curated a panel and dialogue about development, displacement, and artistic practice in Newark. This was accompanied by performances by local artists, and a lively community forum.
urban pedagogy
We worked with our client to create a trilingual educational zine about development, displacement, and the contested future visions of Newark.
