Mir Collective helped realize a vision of the Charlottesville Public Housing Association of Residents [PHAR] for a nature playground on Public Housing property. Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, the project was co-created with local youth through a 2-week project pipeline workshop. The design honors residents’ vision while empowering local voices.
