We are excited to share that we have been collaborating with Urban Omnibus, a publication of The Architectural League of New York, on a series called Well-Placed. Well-Placed is guest edited by Asma Neblett, Helena Najm, Jessica Fletcher, Nawal Muradwij and Rebecca Jacobs of The Graduate Center, CUNY as part of Mindscapes, Wellcome’s international cultural program about mental health.
The animating question of the series:
In the face of exclusion and displacement, how do communities mobilize urban space for mental health and collective wellbeing?
The pieces “Clinical Trials,” “Staying the Distance,” “Teenage Dream” and “On the Up and Up” all explore this question, using relevant case studies from New York’s past and present. Look out for a final installment this spring!
