CONVERSATIONS ON COEXISTENCE: RETHINKING THE INTERFACE BETWEEN COMMUNITIES, INSTITUTIONS AND ECOLOGIES
Teddy Cruz, Amy Hillier, & Anu Mathur in conversation
Co-Sponsors: People’s Emergency Center, Slought, Center for Urban Ecologies at the University of California, San Diego

The discussion will begin from the understanding that we need to urgently rethink interfaces between communities, institutions and ecologies. Such an understanding informs the activities of Mixplace Studio, whose 26-foot urban table of the city will be partially moved to PennDesign to enable space for this conversation. The event will be introduced by Dean Marilyn Taylor and the PennDesign graduate students currently involved in Mixplace Studio.
