The 21st Century Arts Center for Equality is an architectural response to the racial reckoning. Conceived as a critique and blueprint, it embeds inclusivity, equity, and representation into design practice. Three interlinked chapters shape the project: The Floating Dreams, a collaborative creation centre for artists of all backgrounds; The Ladder to Equality, a public gallery fostering cross-cultural dialogue; and The Healing Wound, an 800-metre subterranean museum beneath Manhattan, transforming a collective scar into a commemorative and hopeful space for reflection on racial justice.
