“Construction, Occupation” presents the work of 24 artists and collectives – primarily from Brazil – that engage art’s potential to shape the city through the power of community. Drawing on myriad visual languages and poetics grounded in collective action, the exhibition investigates a radical urban vocabulary that blurs art and activism to address questions of infrastructure and vulnerability, circulation and segregation, and the body in public space. It is on display at the Fowler Museum through Jan. 11, 2026.
