Emerson Village Engagement
In 2022, Juxtapositions Arts’ Tactical Lab was
commissioned by the Beacon Interfaith Housing
Collaborative to do design- based community
engagement for their new housing development,
Emerson Village, in North Minneapolis. We held
listening sessions and envisioning workshops with
families currently in other Beacon’s housing to get
feedback on living in already existing BIHC spaces.
During the listening sessions with families, I would
capture discussion points through graphic note-taking.
At the end of each session, we would project the
drawings to look at and review together. I also helped
in designing the info poster that went up at BIHC.
