Since then, the iterations of the work have been presented in locations across the country including on a billboard in听downtown Detroit, in听Times Square, and in exhibitions at the听Speed Museum of Art听in Louisville, the听Oakland Museum, and at听Artspace听in San Antonio, among many others. Wormsley has expanded the project through an听听in Pittsburgh and through various community-engagement projects in听Kansas City, Houston and elsewhere.

"There is no artist more deserving of a Guggenheim Fellowship than Alisha Wormsley," said Head of the School of Art听. "Alisha's practice harnesses the power of art to ignite critical dialogues, lift the voices of marginalized communities and imagine just futures. Her multidisciplinary practice moves outside the rarified confines of art institutions to embrace those who have been excluded by asking important questions and building new structures of material support. We are honored to have Alisha share her practice with our students as a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow."
