STREET JAZZ | KABOOM
Cultural Placemaking | Educational Play Design | Purpose-Driven Engagement
Created for Kaboom’s Play Everywhere initiative, Street Jazz transformed an empty Harlem lot into a cultural placemaking experience where storytelling, play, and heritage came together.
This purpose-driven activation invited children to explore Harlem’s iconic jazz legacy by engaging with music-inspired play structures, interpretive signage, and interactive prompts. The design was deeply rooted in community identity, offering families an opportunity to engage in educational, place-based play.
Using the STORIENT™ Framework, we wove together experiential design, learning, and movement, demonstrating how even small public spaces can become powerful tools for equity, culture, and imaginative engagement. Project partner: Kaboom.
