Curated by Iker Gil and Mimi Zeiger, New Middles: From Main Street To Megalopolis, What Is The Future Of The Middle City? is the third iteration of Exhibit Columbus’ critically acclaimed two-year cycle of programming that activates the design legacy of Columbus through a symposium, design presentations, and an exhibition. At a moment when reflection, creativity, and innovation is most needed to envision new ways of being, New Middles builds on Columbus’ legacy as a laboratory for design as civic investment to explore the future of the center of the United States and the regions connected by the Mississippi Watershed.
