This excerpt from "We Built the City's Future (Already)" can be applied to systems of the art world including our practices:

"The labor of sustaining urban spaces—cleaning surfaces, repairing infrastructure, and preserving buildings—is often rendered invisible, despite its critical role in the longevity of the built environment. The undervaluation of custodians, craftspeople, and caretakers reflects broader systemic biases that privilege newness over continuity. Yet, their expertise holds profound knowledge about material resilience and adaptive reuse, offering alternative models for sustainability that extend beyond technological innovation. Recognizing these forms of labor as integral to urban stewardship challenges the notion that the future of cities is solely determined by large-scale architectural interventions. Instead, it positions care and maintenance as fundamental to the social and material life of the city. By centering these dynamics in discussions about public space, a more nuanced approach to urban development emerges—one that moves beyond simplistic binaries of progress versus preservation. The collective renegotiation of space is not merely a cultural exercise but a model for rethinking the intertwined forces of capitalist power, community agency, and environmental responsibility. In doing so, it opens up possibilities for more equitable, participatory, and enduring forms of urban transformation."
