Free the Museum

Project: Develop a narrative environment/intervention for a public outdoor space that has the potential to be submitted to the Free the Museum project archive and document the design process. The project should be inspired by ​one​ of the themes that has transformed the world in 2020: the global pandemic and public health; working against racism or other actions in favor of equity and social justice; climate change, and environmental concerns.

Course: DES187 Narrative Environments, 2021

Partner: Free the Museum is an initiative to activate the “museum experience” in the world around us, transforming everyday places into sites of engagement, reflection, healing, activism, and informal learning.
