Proposal for a 28th Amendment?
Is It Possible to Amend an Unequal System?
2022–2023 Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Iteration
A site-specific iteration of Proposal for a 28th Amendment? Is it Possible to Amend an Unequal System? (created with Alex Strada) was presented at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, from October 2022 to March 2023. The installation was adapted to reflect the Bay Area's multilingual context while engaging California's legal and political landscape, introducing new constitutional editing videos featuring Stanford Law Professor Elizabeth Hidalgo Reese on Tribal law and Indigenous erasure in the U.S. Constitution, UC Berkeley Law Professor Khiara M. Bridges on reproductive justice and originalism, and Public Advocates attorney Suzanne Dershowitz on housing justice and the campaign to establish a constitutional right to housing in California. The exhibition was accompanied by a series of public programs with Khiara M. Bridges, Leah Simon-Weisberg (ACCE), Moms 4 Housing, and Youth Speaks. As with each iteration of the project, the Soapbox Oral Archive continued to evolve, inviting visitors to engage with previous responses and contribute their own reflections to the project's central question.
