Oberlander Prize Forum II: Landscape Activism
Presented by The Cultural Landscape Foundation
Friday, October 28, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Nasher Sculpture Center, 2001 Flora Street
Join us this month for the second Oberlander Prize Forum – “Landscape Activism” – exploring the complexity, depth, and entrepreneurship of activist practices throughout the country. The need for activist approaches to design is greater than ever given the scale of contemporary challenges, from climate change and biodiversity loss to racial and social equity. This one-day conference will showcase the ways that landscape architecture is taking the lead in these efforts.
