“Suspended Grid” draws structural inspiration from the “Connect Four” game, scaling up its familiar vertical grid into a large, outdoor installation. The grid functions not only as a visual framework but also as a participatory structure. Individual “playing pieces” reference intersectionality identifiers–such as race, gender, sexuality, and other identity categories–inviting participants to engage with the work by placing these markers within the grid. Chalk is provided so visitors can inscribe their own identifiers onto pieces, allowing each participant to effectively become a “playable” element in the structure. Through this format, the work transforms a familiar game into an interactive exploration of identity, visibility, and how individual positions intersect within a larger social framework.
