VALUE STORMING

The workshop with MoMA Education and the Ali Forney Center, a homeless LGBTQ youth center in New York, aimed to understand what kind of space would make the participants feel affirmed and at ease. The insights gathered from this workshop were used to design two activity spaces in the new drop-in center on 38th Street.

Together with the design team: Agency-Agency, and Extrapolation Factory, we designed the process and the book for the youth to explore and write down their ideas, which we referred to as "valuestorming." In the second part of the workshop, we used their answers to encourage the creation of dioramas using everyday materials. Finally, we projected these models to a life-size scale to experience and discuss.
