Jane Wolff | Observing: A Manifesto

The Department of Landscape Architecture welcomes Jane Wolff, who will give a lecture titled "Observing: A Manifesto" as part of its Landscape Now lecture series.

Jane Wolff is a professor at the University of Toronto’s Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design and the recipient of the 2022 Margolese National Design for Living Prize. Her activist research uses drawing and writing to decipher and represent the web of relationships, processes, and stories that shape the everyday landscapes of the Anthropocene. She was the co-curator (with Susan Schwartzenberg) of the Toronto Landscape Observatory, an installation and program series designed to help visitors to the 2022 Toronto Biennial of Art recognize, acknowledge, and understand their own roles in the city’s ecosystem. Her publications include Bay Lexicon, Delta Primer: a field guide to the California Delta, Landscape Citizenships (co-edited with Tim Waterman and Ed Wall), and the Gutter to Gulf website (co-authored with Elise Shelley and Derek Hoeferlin).
