Undesign the Redline Exhibit


  • UA Municipal Services Center 3600 Tremont Road Columbus, OH, 43221 United States (map)

The City’s Concourse Gallery is hosting an informational exhibit developed by the YWCA of Columbus, that has been touring the region in recent months. Undesign the Redline portrays the history of structural racism caused by the 1938 redlining maps. The exhibit shows how this inequality continues to impact communities today, while also focusing on the ways in which we can come together to “undesign” these systems.

UA’s history regarding restrictions on property ownership is summarized on a panel based on the Upper Arlington Historical Society’s research.

The exhibit also includes the YWCA’s art collection of pieces by local artists that portray themes inspired by the effects of redlining in the Columbus region.

This is a self-guided exhibit open during regular City business hours.
