An exhibition inspired by the life and work of Amaza Lee Meredith (1895–1984), the first known Black queer woman to practice as an architect in the United States. Eleven contemporary artists, architects, and designers were commissioned to create responses to Meredith’s multifaceted legacy, plotting her life and work within themes of placemaking, gender, sexuality, and Black love, while also exploring her impact in public education, the arts, and architecture.

This artist page introduces Sherald’s portraiture practice, emphasizing representation, identity, and cultural storytelling.

This in-person workshop will guide you through the Tenant Power Toolkit. The Tenant Power Toolkit is an online resource that helps tenants create an answer (a legal response to their case) that raises the defenses they might have against the eviction. All attendees must bring their Summons and Complaint-Unlawful Detainer with them to the workshop. Tenants can get one-on-one assistance in both English and Spanish.
