Loutopia: Exhibit A
an immersive experience encouraging community involvement in redesigning public spaces through creativity and sustainability.
October 2023–February 2024 [now closed]
Location: 6195 Delmar Blvd St. Louis, Missouri
Delmar, one of St. Louis’ longstanding cultural corridors originally known as Morgan Street, has seen boom and bust many times since its formation. Due to the pandemic, several retail spaces in this corridor had been dormant for years. Temporarily taking over one of those retail spaces, we created this pop-up exhibit in order to serve as a small example of how we can expand on the potential of these public-facing spaces through art, nature, sustainable systems, and collaboration.
