ABSTRACT
While this section’s title distinguishes it from the others in size, “medium” also connotes agency or means. Each of these authors presents an interior or interiority as a means, not only for appropriation but also for creating stories for ourselves and others. McKay and Potvin examine domestic interiors that alternately reveal and conceal national and personal histories bound up in myths of equity, gender, and class. Schneiderman and Dzis as well as Siddiqui address the composition of new stories in public spaces that came about obliquely or due to dire circumstances but, in either instance, continue to reorient us to our social selves as well as ceiling and street.
