"This is a much-needed recalibration, as professional organizations and practitioners across genres of public history struggle to diversify their own ranks and to bring contemporary activists into the fold."
— Catherine Gudis, University of California, Riverside.
"Taken all together, the articles in this volume highlight the persistent threads of justice work that has characterized the multifaceted history of public history as well as the challenges faced in doing that work."
— Patricia Mooney-Melvin, The Public Historian

One installation from a Layered SPURA exhibition, consisting of panoramas of this portion of the Lower East Side neighborhood and a series of “viewers” that helped people see the many un-built plans, obscured cultures, and community desires of the Seward Park Urban Renewal Area - an analog and participatory “augmented reality.”

City Studio students and community members working together at a SPURA community-visioning session, where students helped facilitate but also, more importantly, learned through practice about neighborhood histories, contemporary needs, and the depth of community members’ knowledge and expertise in shaping their own futures.

For each year’s Layered SPURA exhibition, they created a “newspaper” publication that exhibitiongoers could take. The first three are shown here. They included exhibition information as well as student-written guides demystifying the planning processes for city-owned sites like SPURA and mapping the considerable community assets of the Lower East Side.

A heartfelt wish left by 40-year SPURA activist Lisa Kaplan at one of the Layered SPURA exhibitions. Our exhibitions were always designed to incorporate multiple ways for viewers to participate in, touch, and contribute to the exhibitions themselves.
