Reimagining Community: Finding Sanctuary in Public Spaces
April 9, 2018 – 6:30pm – 8:00pm
Public spaces like parks, sidewalks and public-facing walls, can offer narratives produced by residents and reflect a community’s values and norms. Gentrification often disrupts those narratives and blurs the line between development and erasure. Join the conversation as we discuss the impact of public and public-facing spaces and their role in the development of community, commerce, and the fight for the soul of a neighborhood.
This program is presented in partnership with The Laundromat Project.
