Incited by her landlord's ongoing threat of eviction, Beaumont has created an active archiving of her displaced work amid pillars of boxes. City officials, urban planners, artists, and lawyers will participate in a series of public forums addressing the continual displacement of artists. These forums will focus on imagining what a sustainable model for an all-inclusive community might look like.
