Reclaiming Spaces & Places will assemble urbanists and community leaders for a 2-day event of virtual learning and exchange.
Spaces and Places, born of the necessity to be acknowledged within the built environment, has embarked on its most unique and ambitious convening since its conception. Now in its fourth year, the annual grassroots (un)conference will be hosted virtually in partnership with BlackSpace and Next City. This year’s theme, titled Reclaiming, aims to position BIPOC urbanists, designers, and activists as defiant catalysts for liberation and equity.
SESSION (DAY 1)
Reclaiming our History | Present | Future
The SESSION (AUGUST 6th at 12PM to 1:15PM ET) on Day 1 will highlight innovative speakers in a panel presentation and moderated discussion centered on projects that exemplify the spirit of reclamation through three lenses:
Reclaiming Our History: Reckoning with Our Past to Build Our Future
Reclaiming Our Present: Protect and Strengthen Culture
Reclaiming Our Future: Manifest the Future
