Description
The Destination Café is a mixed media installation that addresses the issue of affordable housing, locally, nationally, and worldwide, in the setting of a pseudo café. Visual and statistical information is offered through banners, menus and QR Codes that link to destinations. The installation pairs the local affordable housing crisis with similar challenges faced by citizens worldwide. This piece is intended to serve as a catalyst for positive change through collaboration between city leaders and ordinary citizens. We invent the future every day. With conscious choices, it is possible to guide the future collectively, rather than simply allowing it to “happen” to us as individuals. The Destination Café offers a site for both active engagement and quiet contemplation, where solutions might be discussed, shared, discovered and invented.
