The use of ornamental gates and fences serves as a metaphor for security and gated communities, insecurity, the incarceration of Black men, the detainment of immigrants, policing, and William Blake’s concept of “Mind Forg’d Manacles”

Socially engaged art is the testing ground for building possible futures, models for experiences of collectivism yet to come. This is art’s active role. What part will you play?

More Art fosters collaborations between artists and communities to create thought-provoking public art and educational programs that inspire broad discourse regarding social and cultural issues.

If We Don’t, Who Will? by Stephanie Dinkins

Join us at The Plaza at 300 Ashland Place for If We Don’t, Who Will?, a public art commission by transdisciplinary artist Stephanie Dinkins.

A leading voice in AI and emerging media, Dinkins is known for creating critical artworks that illuminate the intersections of artificial intelligence with race, gender, cultural memory, and history. In this project, she invites the public to engage with a performative and functional artificial intelligence laboratory. If We Don’t, Who Will? will be on the plaza at 300 Ashland Place in Downtown Brooklyn’s BAM Cultural District from June 25-September 28, 2025.
