Our work
In partnership with communities, we co-produce place-based events and performances that produce new knowledge and shared understanding of the city.
In dialogue with diverse disciplines, we leverage public and academic forums to share our ideas and strategies.
Our goals
Connect public space research in the university to the communities and landscapes of the city, to foster more just public environments
Advance innovative methods for co-producing knowledge about public space to expand the disciplinary boundaries and public impacts of public space scholarship
Our practices
We develop experimental, artistic, and event-based forms of inquiry that emphasize the experiential, relational, and joyful aspects of public space.
We draw from place-based, community-engaged practices that are creative, collaborative, and informed by the urban humanities.
Our partners
Our work is made possible through hyper-local and transnational networks, drawing connections between localized struggles and global dialogues for public space justice. We collaborate with community groups, artists, and organizers; researchers and practitioners; and residents.
