Abstract
In today’s world of sedentary work and study, movement is more important than ever for both our bodies and our minds. These exhibit panel designs explore how public space can be a catalyst for physical wellbeing, creativity, and joy. Featuring a series of photo-based display panels, the exhibit showcases images of dance and movement in public spaces, captured and curated to highlight the often-overlooked role of urban design in supporting health. The exhibit includes reflections on how movement—when thoughtfully integrated into public life—can reduce stress, spark joy, and foster community. Complementing the photography is a set of movement instructions designed to promote wellness through simple, everyday physical activity. “Activating Urban Space for Health and Movement” invites reflection and action, centering movement as a vital part of how we live, learn, and thrive.
