The dance party is part of the City of Cambridge’s Shade Is Social Justice program, which installed three temporary public art structures across the city during summer 2024 to provide shade and seating, and to further the city’s efforts to address our warming world:
• "The Cube," aka “Sun Block,” designed by Gabriel Cira and Matthew Okazaki, brings shade to Cambridge’s Jill Brown-Rhone Park in Central Square.
• “Growing Shade” is located near the Russell Field playground, between Rindge Avenue, Clifton Street and Harvey Street, North Cambridge. It's designed by Colombia-raised, Cambridge-based architect Alejandro Saldarriaga and Boston's Northeastern University.
• "SHADE" at Donnelly Field, which is scheduled to come down on Oct. 4, 2024, was designed by a local youth committee (Cheryl Rateau, Eli Goncalves, Nico Chandler, Samadhi Simmons, Matt Keane, and Amara Henry-Guity) with support from Buildingways, Friday Night Hype, Citizens of the World, Olin College of Engineering, Jennifer Lee, Cambridge Public Health Department and Pneuhaus.

The Shade Is Social Justice program helps Cambridge adapt to global warming by strengthening our climate resilience and preparedness. It uses the power of art and design to shape perception, stimulate discussion of the challenges, and find solutions.
