The CP Lab is an artistic and urban research project that engages the public in an investigation of the social, psychological and spatial characteristics of North Kensington’s prominently Latino Neighborhoods as well as draw from other areas of Philadelphia as needed.

At CP-LAB / Claiming Places Laboratory / March 30th – July 19th, 2013

Organizing small scale social events to reach to an understanding about the ways neighborhoods have been affected by the invisible punishing machine, (CNS’ “science-fictional” way of defining the society of control, the prison industrial complex and the insidious effect of mass incarceration on society) and documenting their anti-prison activism in analytical performative writing, photographs and other media; CNS is developing a two-part research project (Journey to Refuge) that explores “claiming one’s state of being and becoming.” Within the project they expect to touch on topics such as mechanisms of communications, patterns of societal organization, ideas of identities, trust and psychological architecture and environments.
