The "I wish this was" street art project was conceived by Candy Chang (artist- architect -planner) in New Orleans, as an interactive project that invites residents to voice their opinions and ideas about improving their neighbourhood.
A grid of stickers posted on walls/ vacant storefronts in the city becomes a tool for people to write out their thoughts and for the city to display its collective wish in a 'fun' way.
She calls the project " an experiment in public space", meant to pose the question " what if residents had more of a say?" and hopes that the exercise remains "loose, funny, interesting and entertaining".
