Proposal for a 28th Amendment? Is it Possible to Amend an Unequal System?
Houston, we want to hear from you!
Proposal for a 28th Amendment? Is it Possible to Amend an Unequal System? is a participatory installation by artists Tali Keren & Alex Strada that critically examines the U.S. Constitution. Central to the work is an oral archive you can hear through sonic soapbox sculptures on view at Project Row Houses. Please contribute to this growing soundtrack by recording your response to the project’s questions: What 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution would you add? Do you think it is possible to amend an unequal system?
<To participate, follow these steps:
-
Open a voice recording app on your phone. (Watch a video to learn how to record voice notes on Apple and Android.)
-
Speaking into the microphone on your phone, introduce yourself in any way you’d like. Your response can be in any language and any length you choose.
-
Respond to the project’s questions:
What 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution would you propose? How would this amendment impact your life?
Do you think it is possible to amend a system that from its founding is inherently unequal?
When you’re satisfied with your recording and are ready to submit it, please email it to 28th@projectrowhouses.org. Your voice will be added to the exhibition soapboxes in approximately two weeks.
By recording yourself you’re agreeing to become part of this exhibition. Thank you for adding your voice to this evolving oral archive!

Studios
PRH offers a plethora of opportunities to artists, but one of the things that artists need most is space – a space to work and allow their ideas to take shape. Affordable studio space can be a rarity in many cities, and we are proud to have the studios on campus available to artists from our community. Our current studio artists include Rabéa Ballin, Brian Ellison, and Anthony Suber.
