Flower Chair for voting

The flower chair series is a conceptual project with @theresaisabear based on the Shirley Chisholm quote, “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.”

This chair was left at Pioneer Courthouse Square as a reminder that voting is one way we all get to pull a chair up to the table.

Made in collaboration with and photographed Theresa Bear.
