Joy++

Augment by internationally-acclaimed artist Nick Cave is a singular artwork, an exuberant social experience, and a call for Boston to come together in public and cultivate joy across the city. Created as an open question “what brings you joy?” this multi-faceted project asks us to reflect on the power of the individual versus the collective and on the difference between happiness and joy as a means to confront a time fraught with division.

The community-created building wrap remains on view at 555 Columbia Rd. in Dorchester’s Upham’s Corner neighborhood. Read more about the installation.
