Through the activation of public spaces around the world, Candy Chang
provokes both playful and profound visions for how we can connect,
reflect, and nurture the health of our communities. Chang is best known
for the Before I Die project, which began when she stenciled the words
“Before I die I want to _______” on a chalkboard wall on an abandoned
house in New Orleans after losing someone she loved. The Before I Die project and subsequent book, which features walls
around the world and insights into our aspirations, have been featured
on CNN, NBC, TED, AP News, and Wired. Her most recent project includes the participatory public installation A Monument for the Anxious and Hopeful at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York City.
All MUB Current Issues Lectures are free and open to everyone.
