WHAT

Invisible Architectures is a project launched by Ada Pinkston and Kalima Young for Towson University’s Co-Lab.

a multi-year, interdisciplinary container designed to create avenues for projects and programs that re-inscribe the voices of Black, Brown, Indigenous and immigrant populations in the narrative of Towson University’s origin story.  It also aims to re-visibilize the place-based strategies and cultural frictions that have contributed to Towson University’s growth and development as an anchor institution in Baltimore.

How do we reconcile the frictions?
