@nytimes architecture critic @michael_kimmelman presents a substantial conversation with members of the @blackreconstructioncollective — which came together during the past year and a half, in tandem with an exhibition now @themuseumofmodernart called “Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America.” The collective’s members are the 10 architects, artists and designers in the exhibition. "The show includes some mind-bending, beautiful work, on view through the end of May. But the collective emerged to serve longer-term, more radical goals… 'Reconstructions' proceeds from a question: 'How do we construct Blackness?' The architects enlisted to answer this question are a multigenerational mix, including some familiar names. Nearly all run small or solo practices. The group addresses the bigger question: How can Blackness construct America? Four of the members gathered on Zoom the other day to talk about the collective’s impetus and goals: Amanda Williams, Emanuel Admassu, J. Yolande Daniels and V. Mitch McEwen. The four were chosen as representatives by the other members: Sekou Cooke, Germane Barnes, Felecia Davis, Mario Gooden, Walter Hood and Olalekan Jeyifous.
