Volunteers hang thousands of shoelaces at The Contemporary Dayton Wednesday to create We The People, a 50-foot-wide wall installation designed by artist Nari Ward. The installation pairs humble of materials (shoelaces) with one of the country’s most lofty and enduring ideas—the U.S. Constitution, according to a release. The artwork will be on display through Nov. 30. The Co has also partnered with the League of Women Voters of the Greater Dayton Area to transform a portion of the gallery into a voter registration center. LISA POWELL / STAFF
