Design Is a Future
Planet Intervention

Inhabit is back! With a new season, a new city, and a new co-host. Join us as we explore how design is a future planet intervention. We are uncovering the role of public art in shaping our built environment and collective imagination. In this first episode, our hosts Dr. Erika Eitland and Kimberly “Kimi” Seigel dive into public spaces to highlight how people, art, and design intersect throughout the city of Boston.

Design Is Our Key to
an Emotional City
