About this activity

Pittsburgh made steel, but it also mastered the art of holding onto things. Join artist Clara and cultural historian Carlos on an eccentric walking exploration of the city's obsession with accumulation. Starting in the kaleidoscopic salvage garden of Randyland and winding through the dissident street poetry of City of Asylum, the cavernous rooms of the Mattress Factory, Andy Warhol's 610 Time Capsules, and the bustling fish counters of the Strip District, this journey tracks the razor-thin border where discarded refuse transforms into sacred civic memory.
