common ground
Presented at the Meadows Museum, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX
Through December 15, 2019
With common ground, Sortor seeks to create a space for conversation about the hard and soft infrastructures that support and control our physical and virtual public squares, how they shape our individual and collective lives, and how we might come together to further our common interests and restore or re-create our public commons.
