09/22/24, 11AM — 5PM: Street Works Earth details & logistics
Announcing: Street Works Earth 2024 event details. Here’s an at-a-glance view of details so far on artist installations and participating creatives tabling with resources and actions. See you on the Street!
Public space at work: 34 Avenue open street
Street Works seek to make justice normal in the cultural asset ecosystem by resisting systemic injustices. One way is in how we seek to design an alternative to status quo artistic presentation models, including museums. That is why we focus on public space — shared space.
The 2024 Street Work will take place on 34th Avenue’s Open Street in Jackson Heights, Queens, a 26 block stretch starting at 69th Street and spanning about 1.3 miles, that closes every day from 8 AM to 8 PM.
Relationship at work: where the 2024 Street Work is and who it's for
Among the four design principles that ground Street Works is people and local relationship: centering the people participating, with particular focus on people who live and work in an area where an event is taking place. Learn a little bit more about what this means and the location of the 2024 Street Work in Jackson Heights, Queens.
Co-creation at work: 2024 Street Work installations
Check out the latest batch of installations that will be at Street Works, an artistic practice dedicated to pushing co-creation in radical directions over time. There are still more installations to come!
