Gates, Borders, Barriers

2022 Engaging Artist Fellows Yeseul Song and Maya Simone Z. with collaborator Cinthia Chen kickstart the Spring 2023 season of our Gates, Borders, Barriers public program series! Developed in response to Fred Wilson’s sculpture, these programs will activate different elements of the work, including breaking down community barriers through interactive technology and illustrating the disproportionate effect of climate change and disaster on BIPOC communities.
