About the Book
of public art to address the hyper-dialectic
moments of fluidity, interconnections, cultural
hybridization, instant exchange of information,
migrations, rapid change, the impacts of a
planetary environmental crisis, and diversity in
which we’re living in. The power of art’s ability
to transgress borders, denounce absurdities,
favour connections, and appreciate differences
while celebrating social inclusion and identities.
The book delves into diverse topics connected
by the notion of art as a facilitator and tool
of conflict resolution, capturing the essence
of situations and sites. The proposals result in
simple, easy to implement, effective placemaking
and aesthetic moves, engaging a broad and
divergent audience. The approach derives from
Ruth’s equally diverse background, academic
training, and professional work, as an architect/
urban designer, artist, and immigrant, with a
strong sense of global and social awareness.”

About the Creator
We are artists, architects, and urban designers with a holistic view of design that comes from varied experience and interdisciplinary thinking. A quality that has become the essence of our creative process, influencing our understanding of the city building processes and allowing us to balance the functional aspects of urban design with those that pertain to their livability. Including the contributions of art in the public realm and communal engagement, as a tool to build trust, capacity, and enhance social cohesion and bonding to respond effectively to urban challenges. SUMO project was founded on the idea that “Specialization is for insects.” For that reason instead of concentrating in a particular subject or skill, the studio seeks to see the big picture. Looking for the myriad of connections, causes and effects, between human behavior, arts, and culture and how they are associated to specific places and everyday life. Seeking to establish connections between people and places.
