The Center for Sustainable Communities and the Department of Geography, Environment, and Urban Studies are co-sponsoring an exhibition at Tyler Contemporary led by Danicia Malone. Please join us in celebrating the exhibit at the opening reception om May 9 from 2-5pm.

What does public space ask the body to believe about safety, care, and belonging?

Spaces of Encounter explores public spaces across North and Latin America and the Caribbean through the lens of public art. It sees space and place as socially produced; focusing on the ways in which Black imagination from across the diaspora has redistributed power and presence by way of creativity. 

On view at Temple Contemporary in Philadelphia, May 4- Jun 27, 2026.
