<blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>The exhibit includes an installation of
the symbolic vocabulary practiced on Ho Chi Minh City's sidewalks and
photographs of some of the 250 street vendors that the research team
interviewed in January 2010. These are a part of SLAB's larger
research agenda to develop a critical and publicly engaged cartography
that <i>celebrates, </i>reconstructs knowledge about, and
advocates<i> </i>for one of the most mundane of public
spaces in a mega-city of the developing world.</blockquote>
