About CUP:
the Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP)
creative education about places and how they change
The Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP), a New York City-based nonprofit organization, began working in 1998 and was incorporated in 2001. CUP investigates the built environment by facilitating collaborations among advocates, architects, artists, city workers, educators, policy makers, residents and students. By examining spaces as they are, CUP imagines how they could be different and how residents can participate in shaping them. Investigations begin with questions about how communities work: Who built public housing? How are prisons designed? Where does garbage go? Why are there abandoned buildings? Project participants use a research-based, design-driven process to develop inventive tools for community participation and change. CUP projects take many forms: architectural proposals, board games, comic books, exhibitions, films and videos, maps, models, posters, walking tours and workshops.
CUP’s mission grows from the belief that the power of imagination is central to the practice of democracy and that the work of governing must engage community residents’ dreams and visions. CUP distributes its work through community-based organizations, education and design institutions, public installations, television shows and free programs. CUP projects are executed by a network of participants who are supported by CUP’s staff, board of directors and volunteers.
CUP Staff: Rosten Woo (Executive Director & Co-Founder), Valeria Mogilevich (Program Manager) and Lize Mogel (Grants Associate)
CUP Board of Directors: Damon Rich (Founder & Chair), Althea Wasow (Co-Founder & Vice-Chair), Christian Matthaeus (Treasurer), Kate Rubin (Secretary), Sarah Dadush (Co-Founder), Suzanne Menghraj, Pam Sporn and Dan Wiley
