Seeking ways for communities to reclaim and transform our public spaces,
making them into places for representation, creativity, and enrichment.

"What makes a space public - a space in which the cry and demand for the right to the city can be seen and heard - is often not its preordained 'publicness.' Rather, it is when, to fulfill a pressing need, some group or another takes space and though its actions makes it public. The very act of representing one's group (or to some extent one's self) to a larger public creates a space for representation. Representation both demands space and creates space." - Don Mitchell
