On December 15th, 2024, my best sister from another mister got engaged to a rather delightful mister! 🥹

Brianna—I am beyond blessed to be in your orbit and am continuously amazed by your incredible prowess in all you set your mind to, always so proud of you. Who knew a little sublet need 11 years ago would be the catalyst to enrich my life with your presence and I gained a sister ‘til infinity.

André—thank you for trusting me to capture this moment of love that I’ve been so grateful to have witness bloom from seed to soil to sun. It is beyond words how thankful to you I am for giving Brianna the love that she deserves and more.

Congratulations, my bbs!!! I cannot wait to celebrate you 😍💐✨🫶🏾

Get to know Occupy Vacancy, a local public art initiative included in Counterpublic 2026: Coyote Time.

Occupy Vacancy is a public art initiative co-founded by St. Louis–born artists Brianna McIntyre and André Fuqua. Grounded in human-centered community development, the project reshapes the physical landscape of St. Louis City by transforming vacant, city-owned lots into vibrant third places for neighborhood-specific public art. Through sculpture and spatial design, Occupy Vacancy responds to the layered histories of race, architecture, and legacy that shape St. Louis’s Northside.

Brianna McIntyre @briannabybrianna is a visual and installation artist, interior architect, furniture designer, and Creative Director of Occupy Vacancy. Her practice engages narratives related to place and home, invisible women-centered labor, race, and the politicized performance of beauty imposed on Black women.

André Fuqua @andrefuqua_ is an interdisciplinary artist and Design Engineer of Occupy Vacancy. Trained as a civil engineer and materials scientist, his work bridges sculpture and infrastructure, examining how visibility shapes power and perspective within both natural and built environments.

Occupy Vacancy’s commission is curated by Executive + Artistic Director James McAnally @jamesxmcanally and Assistant Curator Charlie Farrell @artfullythought

@counterpublic brings Coyote Time to St. Louis this fall. Experience our Triennial exhibition from September 12–December 12, 2026.

The Mirrors of the Earth is a ground-level sculpture shaped like a puddle, crafted from mirror-polished stainless steel. Inspired by Duncan Park’s lasting water features, it captures the moment after a storm, when calm returns, but traces of nature’s power remain.

Its mirrored surface tells a story: sky, city, landscape, and people blend, blurring the line between nature and the city. Like water, it shows beauty and change, sustaining life while reshaping the world.

As you see yourself reflected in its stillness, you’re reminded of the balance and resilience that connect us all to our environment.📍 Find it in Duncan Park, in Austin, TX, and immerse yourself in this thoughtful exploration of nature and humanity.

Thank you, Ryan, for choosing me for this beautiful project. This is seriously the coolest thing ever & your talent is out of this world!!!! 🌻
