MCA and Crossroads Youth Fund

Scope and Approach

Territory Teens Breaking Boundaries is a group of teens who believe youth voices should be heard. TTBB were responsible for every aspect of this event. They wrote the grants, planned the run of show, created the marketing, invited the partner organizations, coordinated the installation and emceed the event. The convening featured pop-up structures designed by Territory, and projects by partner organizations including Kuumba Lynx, the Design Apprenticeship Program at the University of Chicago Arts Incubator, and Blok By Blok youth podcasters. Youth partners used the pop-up structures as conversation stations for interacting with museum guests.
