5. ‘We the People’ Art Installation

“We the People,” a new sculpture by Nari Ward, will be on view at the New-York Historical Society Museum and Library from February 20 to 26. Head there between the 20th and the 24th to see the installation, to be made from donated shoelaces, being constructed.

Free with museum admission, the sculpture asks viewers to reflect upon and respond to the opening words of the Constitution: “We the People.” Visitors are also invited to post a sticky note to the museum’s “preamble wall” to share their thoughts with the public.
