Undesign the Redline 
 
 
"A virtual tour of the Undesign the Redline exhibit at The Union for Contemporary Art (U-CA)

About this Event

Developed by New York-based organization, designing the WE, the interactive Undesign the Redline exhibit explores the foundations of structural racism and the lingering effects of Redlining in Omaha and across the country.
Rotary members are invited to join this virtual meeting, facilitated by trained tour guides steeped in the history of Omaha and Redlining. Space is limited, but free and open to all who are willing to engage in a deep, critical, and often challenging exploration of this history. This virtual tour will be held (on Zoom) on Thursday, August 27th from 6-8 p.m.
 
Please register for this event by Monday, August 24th by clicking HERE.  After the close of the registration, U-CA will email the zoom link that will allow individuals to access the virtual tour. Additionally, U-CA will provide a short video that participants are encouraged to watch before participating in the tour.
 
Virtual tours are offered free of charge. However, this tour would not be possible without the support of our community. A suggested donation of $10 per person, allows U-CA to bring this work an even wider audience. CLICK HERE to donate. THANK YOU!
