James Chesnut and Christopher Reznich were on the design/build team for Akoaki.
"Imaging Detroit, equal parts international film festival and pop-up agora, aimed to spark a conversation about the many ways Detroit has been portrayed over the last decade. It staged public debate and open speculation on how representation contributes to our urban imagination. In assembling a varied collection of works and guests, Imaging Detroit revealed the possibility of an ephemeral urbanization: the 36-hour event transformed Perrien Park into a vibrant civic space, complete with screenings, conversations, exhibit, food, and leisure." -Akoaki
