“Undesign the Redline” Exhibit at the Cleveland Park Library
April 13 - July 11
It’s not about the Metro!
Undesign the Redline is an interactive exhibit that explores the history of race-based exclusion from DC neighborhoods. The exhibit explores the history of redlining — the explicit devaluation of residential areas based on race — in upper Northwest DC and helps us understand why inequities in housing and wealth persist. How can we “undesign” these wrongs?
“Undesign The Redline DC” opens to the public at the Cleveland Park Library on Saturday, April 13 and runs through July 11. Learn more at their website or email Barbara Kraft.
Free, public events held in connection with the Undesign the Redline exhibit will explore the racial history of upper Northwest DC and create opportunities for community-building and further discussion about how we can take action to repair the breach. View the full list of these programs here.
Temple Sinai is one of the primary sponsors of this exhibit. We have been working alongside local businesses and faith-based groups to bring it to fruition.
