Proposal for a 28th Amendment? Is it Possible to Amend an Unequal System?, collaboration with Alex Strada 2021- (Queens iteration 2021-2022), participatory installation with sonic soapbox sculptures, recording booth, evolving oral archive, six 4K videos, and five 60x120” canvas banners, Queens Museum, Flushing, NY
Proposal for a 28th Amendment? Is it Possible to Amend an Unequal System? is an iterative participatory installation made in collaboration with Alex Strada that was initially on view at the Queens Museum. This evolving work critically examines the U.S. Constitution through listening, recording, and intervening. Central to the installation are sonic soapbox sculptures that build upon the history of the soapbox as a site of collective struggle while emphasizing listening, mutuality, and access. These sculptures emit a growing oral archive of responses to the project’s questions recorded by past visitors using the installation’s recording booth. Videos depict the hands of legal scholars as they unpack, mark up, and redact the U.S. Constitution.
The installation is activated through public workshops organized with local community partners and legal scholars.
