ALI FORNEY CENTER
This MoMA commissioned project aims to redefine queer youth homeless care through the design of an identity-affirming salon and sensory therapy room as permanent installations at the Ali Forney Center’s new Times Square headquarters and drop-in center.
Incepted through an innovative, hands-on workshop with AFC youth and staff, the designs directly reflect the needs and imaginations of the people who will ultimately use the spaces.
