SOFIA GULAID

DESIGNER, URBAN PLANNER

“Greetings from Mandela: A theoretical tourist map about “Mandela, Massachusetts”. In 1986 there was a referendum that proposed a new city formed by the majority of Black neighborhoods in Boston seceding, but it was never passed. What would Mandela look like if the referendum had won the vote?”

BLACK & URBAN

“As a Kenyan-American urban planner and designer I'm always interested in ways that Black and African identities might manifest in the built environment and how we can challenge cities to reveal these identities more.”
