Fair housing cannot be achieved without continued education, support, and advocacy.

There is Black Housing in the Future: Equitable Public Housing as Memorial was a two-person show by Alisha Wormsley and Ayanah Moor in Mies van der Rohe's McCormick House. They created the installation as a means of activism and education to support mothers fighting for the future of Black housing.

Generously supported by the Goethe-Institut and Wunderbar Together.
