WHO: YOU

I came across this text while falling down the rabbit hole doing research online late into the night (of course). If this was a party invitation, it would be the best ever.

The immediacy conveyed completely connects with our work on W Rockland Street, which I hope to write more about soon.

The text is pulled from curator Ruth Keffer's introduction to the exhibition, DIY Urbanism: Testing the Grounds for Social Change, presented at the San Francisco Planning + Urban Research Association, quoted by Mimi Zeiger in the essay, The Interventionist's Toolkit on Design Observer, which is where I came across it. More than enough good stuff in Zeiger's essay, which is part of a series, offering interesting take-aways in every installment.

Worth reading The Interventionist's Toolkit: Part I, Part II, Part III and Part IV.

I like what this says so much that I threw together the above graphic for a little impact (with hope that a real designer will take this and make something even better and more shareable) but the words stand alone. 

An invitation -
 
who: you
what: change
where: the city
when: now
how: do it yourself
