MKI Intern Network @ Undesign the Redline
We launched the MKI Intern Network in October and recently members of the Fall cohort participated in a tour of the
Undesign the Redline Tour
. The exhibit is an interactive experience that encourages participants to dig deep into the history of discriminatory housing policies and their impact on systemic inequities that exist today. Members of the internship network were able to ha
ve meaningful conversations and walk away with an increased knowledge about the housing landscape in Boston. The Undesign the Redline exhibit is located at the JPNDC Brewery Complex, where it will run through Dec. 31, 2019.
