This large-scale and moveable public work of art and exhibition platform references Mecca Flats, a historic building on Chicago’s South Side that was significant to the city’s cultural and social history but was razed during urban renewal efforts. The sculpture is installed in public spaces and accompanied by programming that both celebrates the arts and artists associated with Mecca Flats and examines the legacy of displacement and disinvestment in Chicago.
