The Black Home as Public Art consists of an exhibition and symposium examining creative notions of the Black home in the United States during the postwar period.

The exhibition will be on display August 30-November 15 and will present eight artist-led practicies that employ adaptive reuse and public art strategies to reinterpret the Black home to inflect the demands of Black social movements, contemporary politics, and racial uplift. 

A one-and-a-half-day symposium on September 11–12 will complement the exhibition, bringing together designers, historians, curators, and archivists for interdisciplinary discussions about these projects, their significance, and the importance of pluralizing the architectural canon for a more holistic understanding of our built environment.
