As a member of Upham’s Corner ArtPlace, DS4SI engages artists, residents and merchants in imagining new possibilities for the Upham’s Corner neighborhood of Dorchester. We work with local artists to create pop-up exhibits that bring people together in new ways. Our 9-day Public Kitchen (Fall 2012) engaged over 500 community residents in an imagined public infrastructure that could make their daily lives more vibrant, affordable and healthy. Our week long Making Planning Processes Public exhibit (Spring 2013) invited hundreds of community members to step into the planning that is going on around them, making it accessible through integrated community signage and performances, hands-on technology and interactive sculptures that engaged people of all ages in seeing themselves as planners.
