DISTRICT 28. is an art institution focused on re-imagining museum spaces and creating living and ongoing exhibitions that explores the African diaspora and the Black experience in America.

Unlike traditional museum spaces, DISTRICT 28.'s main goal focuses on providing creative and educational spaces in the arts in undervalued and overlooked communities, places that traditional museum spaces overlook due to the focus on communities of wealth. By focusing on undervalued communities, the artifacts displayed in all exhibitions will be created, curated and/or co-designed by local artists, designers and members of the community.

The creation of the artifacts gives the opportunity for people to learn and gain access to art and design, but also engage in critical theory and cultural engagement; all things that are only accessible to people with privileges and resources to engage in such activities. To combat these ideas of privilege, DISTRICT 28. opens the parameters of what is deemed educational and what free education and community engagement look like. 

All exhibitions will fall under two sectors of the museum. Sector one, America is Black, a fashion-based institute that uses fashion design and theory as key tools of education for discussion about black history and culture in the United States. Sector two: Analyzing Blackness, visual art, and digital media institute focused on analyzing the black experience and its relation to culture through the arts. Both institutes use art and design as key points to open up conversations about race, society, politics, history, and culture.
