Imagine if developers, designers, planners, and city agencies valued youth as stakeholders when it came to creating our outdoor public places – how would they look? With this question in mind, this summer’s Investigating Where We Live participants visited D.C. parks and neighborhoods and considered what makes a public space inclusive, accessible, and welcoming. Working with artists, museum professionals, and community members, participants designed and installed an exhibition to share their vision for public green space to foster community expression, build confidence in its visitors, and promote sustainability.  

Join program participants and staff for a reception and celebration 1–3 pm.
