FORWARD: Issue #2: Transportation
Table of Contents
From the Guest Editor
The history of transportation infrastructure in this country is filled with stories about connecting people to opportunity—as well as stories of decisions based on racist ideas that have led, for example, to the destruction of entire communities through highway construction. And transportation is now the leading contributor to climate change in the United States, as well as a field experiencing major innovations. This issue of FORWARD tackles many of these matters.
FORWARD's first Guest Editor is Ben Stone, Smart Growth America's Director of Arts and Culture.
Public Art Now
Leading voices sharing public art of the moment
Guest Curated by Tricia Heuring, this inaugural Public Art Now collection comprises five projects presented as temporary interventions of public space that pushed public art forward in 2020 by exploring the aesthetics and politics of belonging and power.
