在地标性建筑保德信中心市场入口处的这个戏剧性的落地装置中，卡登使用了橙色的建筑碎片网，由波士顿社区的许多人手工制作，并绣有教皇2015年通谕的文字，《赞美我:关爱我们共同的家园》。充满活力的当代挂毯打破了冰冷的大理石和玻璃入口，提出了气候正义和可持续性的问题，以及共同行动以产生积极变化的日益紧迫的问题。

UNLESS由波士顿地产公司委托，由Now + There和我们的朋友在Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción、维多利亚别墅艺术中心、马萨诸塞州艺术学院和波士顿艺术中心制作和策划。

气候变化不分国界和国籍，但它的影响正在进一步加剧我们所看到的跨种族和阶级的分歧。这是我们跨越分歧、相互关爱、共同家园的时刻。

——斯蒂芬妮·卡登

In this dramatic floor-to-ceiling installation at the entrance to the landmark Prudential Center marketplace, Cardon used orange construction debris netting, made by many hands from the Boston community and embroidered with text from the Pope’s 2015 Encyclical, Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home. The vibrant contemporary tapestry disrupted the cool marble and glass entrance, posing questions of climate justice and sustainability, and the mounting urgency to act together to effect positive change.

UNLESS was commissioned by Boston Properties and produced and curated by Now + There with our friends at Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción, Villa Victoria Center for the Arts, Massachusetts College of Art, and Boston Center for the arts.

“Climate change knows no borders and nationalities but its effect is putting further strain on the divisions we see across race and class. This is the time to come together across our differences to care for each other and our common home.— Stephanie Cardon
