Work On Display:
The Baltimore Sweep Action Parade: Towards the Center
The Baltimore Sweep Action Parade: Towards the Center is a cross-neighborhood project by Jonathan Taube that engages four distinct communities in the cleansing action of sweeping, participants perform a gesture counter to the expanding motion of gentrification. Pushing trash towards the center, participants will celebrate civic pride and crossing boundaries while being drawn towards Mount Vernon Place. The resulting trash is displayed openly to demonstrate the point that our social and environmental problems might be solved if we face them together and the viewer is confronted with a monumental relic of community collaboration.
Artist: Jonathan Taube
