SOCIETY'S CAGE – A STATEMENT ON THE FORCES OF SYSTEMIC RACISM

Society’s Cage is a timely interpretive installation born in the aftermath of the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor as our society reckons with institutional racism and white supremacy.

The installation features a bold interpretive pavilion sculpted to symbolize the historic forces of racialized state violence. The experience educates visitors and functions as a sanctuary to reflect, record, and share personal thoughts. It is conceived in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement as a mechanism for building empathy and healing.

Society's Cage is designed as a traveling installation and has previously been exhibited in Washington, DC on the National Mall, in Baltimore, Maryland on War Memorial Plaza, in Tulsa, Oklahoma to coincide with the centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre, and in Oakland, California the home of the Black Panther Party.
