 Now What?! examines the overlooked history of architects and designers advancing civil rights, women’s, and LGBTQ movements. I co-led the exhibition design, in collaboration with Jessie Rubenstein (Marks + Spaces), and mentored five Boston University students through research and spatial development. I developed the interpretive systems and implemented the visual identity, using modular displays and participatory elements to foreground design’s civic impact. The exhibition positions the built environment as a site of activism and collective action.
