Undesign the Redline is an interactive exhibit that explores the history of structural racism and classism, how these designs compounded each other from redlining maps until today, and how we can come together to undesign these systems with intentionality.

“Undesign the Redline reminds us, going forward, we must live up to the Fair Housing Act’s central purpose—not just to root out discrimination, but, as the Act’s co-sponsor Senator Walter Mondale said, to promote ‘truly integrated and balanced living patterns.’” — U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

The exhibit helps “…shed the light on discriminatory policies and practices — many of them intentional — that form the root causes of clustered poverty and segregation…” – Enterprise Community Partners"
