Public Dialogue #2
Artists and Communities: The Gentrification Debate
Participants: Steve Cancian, Los Angeles-based landscape designer and creator of Sidewalk Living Rooms Los Angeles; Cauleen Smith, filmmaker and 2012/13 Arts + Public Life/Center for the Study of Race, Politics and Culture Artist-in-Residence.
Public Dialogue:
Do artists, designers, and their work contribute to gentrification? Join us for a public Oxford-style debate, focused on the perceived connection between the influx of artists to an established community and the displacement of its residents.
Public Dialogue explores the ever-increasing role that artists, creative professionals, cultural organizations, and anchor institutions play in the growth and fostering of communities. The focus is on the urban landscape, both the built environment and the spaces in between.
Through an exhibition, public reading room, and series of curated conversations, cultural producers and the public will engage with the theoretical and actual concepts behind this movement.
