"The Smithsonian museums may be closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, but a new installation meant to spark discussion and reflection on race in the U.S. is now open on the National Mall. Called “Society’s Cage,” the installation is an open cube sculpture visitors can walk into and, as its architect describes, it’s entirely symbolic.
“The form and shape of the pavilion is a physical representation of racist institutional structures that have acted historically to compromise true equity and fairness in our society,” said Dayton Schroeter, who conceptualized and built the installation."
