This project is an initiative by the Co-Prosperity Sphere Programming Council (CoPro ProCo). Curated by Monica Trinidad with support from Aaron Hughes.

Above, the neon art installed in the window space reads I can’t jog I can’t kneel I can’t watch birds I can’t breathe. The piece is a collaboration between artists Reuben Kincaid and Neon Mike. Typeset by Louie C.

On August 26th at 1:15 am, both the glass and the neon sign I can’t breathe were broken by a fire hydrant that was thrown into the window. We are currently working on fixing the damage.
