Reflecting Authority, presented in collaboration with the High Line Network Joint Art Initiative’s New Monuments for New Cities, engaged collaborators and public participants in a research residency aimed at mapping civic process, authority, and authorship at five High Line Network sites: Buffalo Bayou, Houston, Texas; Waller Creek, Austin, Texas; The 606, Chicago, Illinois; The Bentway, Toronto, Ontario; and The High Line, New York, New York.

The Reflecting Authority zine features research findings from a series of local workshops, data visualizations, snippets from our podcast series with artists from the five host cities, and critical essays from Monument Lab.
