This project for the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD) imagines the future of Sugar Hill, a new arts district in Detroit's Midtown neighborhood. Sugar Hill is currently very small, including only MOCAD’S block and the next one immediately north. Five diagrams from Constantinos Doxiadis’ 1970 regional plan for Detroit Edison were appropriated, transformed, and superimposed on the Sugar Hill district. These diagrams formed the basis for a minority report on the future of the neighborhood. In this alternative future, Sugar Hill becomes an experimental urban enclave shaped by artists and cultural institutions.

ABOUT MBPRO —
The world has changed and so has the way we encounter new ideas and experiences.

Cultural institutions and civic entities creating programs for cultural stimulus now compete with a bevy of channels and media to reach ever elusive audiences. But curating conversations about our future is critical to empower stewardship and generate belonging.

MBPRO invites audiences to explore their potential for transformation while supporting our partners with bespoke solutions so that together we can make space for the future.
