About the Exhibition
College of Design students in the "More than Poor and un/Housed: Designing Abolitionist Spaces of Care" spring elective studio course will present an exhibition that highlights the structural challenges contributing to housing insecurity for a growing number of people in our communities. A series of installations will respond to the specific housing insecurity challenges faced by groups of people: youth, cis and transgendered women, families and veterans.

The multidisciplinary studio is co-taught by Rongerude and Julie Stevens, associate professor of landscape architecture, an expert in the field of trauma-informed environmental design. The class includes 19 students majoring in landscape architecture, interior design, community and regional planning and architecture.
