Motown Masala

This exhibition celebrates the spirit of resourcefulness and resilience embedded in Detroit’s material culture. Through the lenses of makers, modifiers, and menders, this exhibition explores how urban communities creatively navigate scarcity, challenge consumerism, and reimagine infrastructure. From tinkering and hacking to jugaad, we highlight the artistry and ingenuity of transforming locally available resources into solutions—blending survival with pleasure, necessity with invention.
Join us in a dialogue that bridges Detroit’s grassroots innovation with global practices of making-do, celebrating the unsung heroes who redefine what it means to design, repair, and thrive in an ever-changing world. Together, communal design, and the globalization of ingenuity shape our collective future
