Proposal for a 28th Amendment? Is it Possible to Amend an Unequal System?
Opens September 27, 2024
Proposal for a 28th Amendment? Is it Possible to Amend an Unequal System? is a participatory installation by artist collaborators Alex Strada & Tali Keren. It critically examines the U.S. Constitution and creates space for intervention and political imagination. The work was initially commissioned by the Queens Museum and site-specific iterations, and it was then traveled to the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco and the Aldrich Contemporary in CT. A new iteration will open at Project Row Houses on September 27th and will be on view through January 26th, in tandem with the forthcoming election. PRH and the artists are interested in expanding the project’s reach so that diverse audiences around Houston can add their voices to the project’s oral archive. Prairie View A&M Univerisity Architecture Department, content creation lab, is generously partnering with us to build the soap boxes for the installation.

We Are Artists. We Are Neighbors.
In 1993, we transformed 22 row houses and greatly impacted both a neighborhood and our neighbors with whom we share both a great piece of history as well as the challenges that come with it.

Community Enrichment
Strong communities are built on a foundation that interweaves independence and interdependence, the idea that you can lean on others in the community and be there for them to lean on too.
