Canβt wait to read, learn and relish in this brilliance: Black Public Joy by Jay Pitter is out this weekβ an uplifting narrative amid the strain of civic systems & public spaces. Toronto Life calls it an βinstruction manual for joy.β The book frames public joy as civic, cultural and spatial infrastructure. Will link in stories.
