Dominican participatory artist Lizania Cruz set up a kiosk at Socrates that asks park visitors to map the relationships they notice between people, wildlife like monarch butterflies and the built waterfront. Pamphlets guide you through nature, climate resilience and community care, and every contribution adds to a living archive. If you are already visiting the park's sculptures, this is the hands-on stop that makes the visit participatory.
What to expect
Expect a small outdoor kiosk rather than a gallery, with prompts and pamphlets that invite you to add to a shared map. It takes a few minutes but works well with kids and anyone curious about urban ecology.
