Architects don’t just design buildings. They design relationships. And relationships cannot be one-way. Pictured: the Chapel of Thanks-Giving at downtown Dallas’s Thanks-Giving Square, designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Philip Johnson and dedicated in 1976.

St. Louis’ iconic Gateway Arch stands as a testament to engineering and possibility. But in a trickster move, artist Nicholas Galanin intervenes with the public sculpture "Land is never a gateway (Sightline / Lifeline)" (2026). www.frieze.com/article/tk-t...

Often, protest needs the arts. Sometimes, the arts need protest. On rare occasions, the arts need the arts to ward off subjugation. On Sep. 18, 2026, demonstrators formed a human chain around Washington, DC’s Kennedy Center to protest an effort by Donald Trump to close and demolish the building.
