In this li ve sharing and workshop session\, the collaborators will connect urgent qu estions emerging in their practices and relative geographies to pedagogy a nd curricula. How can we disentangle architecture and urban design from pr operty?

The Movement for Black Lives demands that Americans fro m all walks of life confront racism and its sordid impact on constructed e nvironments\, and understand the rich\, vital tradition of Black resistanc e\, innovation\, and creativity. Speakers will touch on many questions: Ho w do the places and things made by African Americans disrupt the racial st atus quo in the United States? How is difference celebrated? How is equity imagined and achieved? What constitutes anti-racist spatial practice? Rad ical Black Space shows that the Black radical tradition is alive in art an d architecture\, and that having a handle on Black history is essential to understanding the present and shaping the future. Join us to find revolut ion in the everyday and to recognize the extraordinary places and objects that Black Americans make and the stories they tell about themselves. Radi cal Black Space is convened by Marta Gutman and Jerome Haferd.\nSciame Lec ture Series with additional funding provided by the Bernard &\; Anne Sp itzer School of Architecture Fund.
