SUMMARY:Narrating the Neoliberal Agenda: Tales of democracies\, communities\, and public spaces
DESCRIPTION:The Ideal Spaces Foundation and Allan Siegel invite you to participate in a two day-Symposium September 6-7\, 2024 at the Ideal Spaces Foundation Nesslerstrasse 16 in Karlsruhe\, Germany. \nThe neoliberal worldview is embedded within a geographical network of diverse institutions and governing agencies; they disseminate an ideology that impacts economic\, governmental and social priorities. \nNeoliberalism propagates an ethos that encourages the privatisation of public services and social space: effectively undermining the communal aspects of social life and eroding democratic ideals; negating the\nconcept of the demos\, inhibiting political processes and public discourse. \nThe symposium will focus on an elaboration of the dynamics inherent to the above themes and enable interactive forms of discussion. The hybrid program includes presentations by: Mike Berry (AUS)\, Wendy Brown (US)\, Judit Bodnár (HU)\, Aysegul Can (TUR)\, Benda Hofmeyr (ZAF)\, Michael Janoschka (DE)\, George Monbiot (GB)\, Dieter Plehwe (DE)\, John M. Roberts (GB)\, Juan Pablo Rodriguez (CHL)\, Molly Slavin (US)\, Loveneet Thakur (IND). \nThe program will be both in person\, and online for the entire event. \nFor further details\, registration and online participation\, please contact Emöke Bada. emoke.bada@idealspaces.org or go directly to: https://www.idealspaces.org/event-registration/

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Asad Raza: An ECO-ARTs Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:RSVP below and join the Ecological Design Collective for a conversation with artist Asad Raza on his life and artistic career with a special focus on his upcoming project for Manifesta 15 Barcelona (opening the 8th of September to the 24th of November 2024). Manifesta is a “European Nomadic Biennial” which moves from city to city promoting positive social and ecological change. This year’s themes include: Balancing Conflicts\, Cure and Care and Imagining Futures. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will take place virtually on the EDC platform on Thursday\, September 12th starting at 12pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to join!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtist Bio: \n\n\n\n\n\nAsad Raza creates dialogues and rejects disciplinary boundaries in his work\, which conceives of art as a metabolic\, active encounter within and beyond the exhibition setting. Raza’s practice often takes planetary ecologies as a focus\, with a strong emphasis on the participatory and the performative aspects of art\, as well as an engagement with all of the senses. His projects have been realized by institutions including the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; Kaldor Public Art Projects\, Sydney; Gropius Bau\, Berlin; Serpentine Galleries\, London; Kunsthalle Portikus\, Frankfurt; Ruhrtriennale\, Essen; the Lahore Biennale; Museion\, Bolzano; and Mori Art Museum\, Tokyo. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator : Dr. Kristine Roome PhD.\, cultural anthropologist & host of the Eco-Arts forum

SUMMARY:EDC Book Club: Meaningful Stuff by Jonathan Chapman
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP to join the EDC Book Club later this month for a discussion of Jonathan Chapman’s new book\, Meaningful Stuff: Design That Lasts. Carnegie Mellon University designer Jonathan Chapman will be joining us for the discussion\, together with EDC curator Anand Pandian. Please join or check the EDC Book Club group for access to the excerpts we will be discussing. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will take place virtually on the EDC platform on Tuesday\, September 24th\, starting at 12pm EST (Meeting ID: 955 1193 8558& Password: Books) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to join!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book:  \n\n\n\nNever have we wanted\, owned\, and wasted so much stuff. Our consumptive path through modern life leaves a wake of social and ecological destruction—sneakers worn only once\, bicycles barely even ridden\, and forgotten smartphones languishing in drawers. By what perverse alchemy do our newest\, coolest things so readily transform into meaningless junk? In Meaningful Stuff\, Jonathan Chapman investigates why we throw away things that still work\, and shows how we can design products\, services\, and systems that last. \n\n\n\nObsolescence is an economically driven design decision—a plan to hasten a product’s functional or psychological undesirability. Many electronic devices\, for example\, are intentionally impossible to dismantle for repair or recycling\, their brief use-career proceeding inexorably to a landfill. A sustainable design specialist who serves as a consultant to global businesses and governmental organizations\, Chapman calls for the decoupling of economic activity from mindless material consumption and shows how to do it. \n\n\n\nChapman shares his vision for an “experience heavy\, material light” design sensibility. This vital and timely new design philosophy reveals how meaning emerges from designed encounters between people and things\, explores ways to increase the quality and longevity of our relationships with objects and the systems behind them\, and ultimately demonstrates why design can—and must—lead the transition to a sustainable future. \n\n\n\nAbout the Author: \n\n\n\nJonathan Chapman is Professor & Director of Doctoral Studies at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design where he leads the PhD in Transition Design—a research leadership program for designers committed to making positive change in the world.  \n\n\n\nHe is the author of five books at the intersection of industrial design\, human experience\, and sustainability. His most recent book\, Meaningful Stuff: Design that Lasts (MIT Press\, 2021) calls for an “experience heavy\, materials light” design sensibility that increases the quality and longevity of our relationships with products\, and demonstrates why design can—and must—lead the transition to a sustainable future.  \n\n\n\nChapman is a consultant and strategic advisor to global businesses and governmental organizations from Puma\, COS\, and Philips\, to the House of Lords\, the United Nations\, and NASA. His Op-Ed for The Guardian outlining his research agenda received 1\,000+ comments within hours of going live.  \n\n\n\nHe is a Visiting Professor in Design at the Politecnico di Milano\, and graduate student advisor at MIT\, Cambridge University\, Royal College of Art\, and KAIST. He holds a PhD in Design (2008)\, MA in Design Futures (2001)\, and BA (Hons) in Industrial Design (1997).  \n\n\n\nAt the age of 38\, he became the youngest person in the UK to achieve the rank of Full Professor in Design. New Scientist described Chapman as “a mover and shaker” and a “new breed of sustainable design thinker.”

SUMMARY:Community Farms\, Community Connections: An EDC Grounding Event with Liz Lamb\, Robin Gunkel\, and Carissa Aoki
DESCRIPTION:Interested in urban agriculture and its role in Baltimore communities? Join us for a tour of the community farms in Broadway East\, Oliver\, and Johnston Square. These farms are managed by The 6th Branch\, a non-profit organization originally founded by military veterans. Unlike city farms where gardeners rent separate plots\, these farms were all initiated with input from their communities\, and neighbors are welcome to come harvest food at any time. Weekly farm stand offerings are likewise free to the neighborhoods. Pollinator gardens contribute to neighborhood ecosystem diversity. 6th Branch farmer Liz Lamb will join us to talk about the organization’s initiatives and neighborhood outreach. Since EDC is a group interested in design for equity\, among other things\, there will also be an opportunity to walk by the new Hope Village\, a container house development for the working unhoused\, now under construction. Robin Gunkel\, who was involved with the Sunflower Project next to the Johnston Square Farm\, will also join us to tell us a bit about the history of that project. \n\n\n\nDr. Carissa Aoki will be our guide for the tour. Aoki is a professor at MICA and an applied ecologist working at the intersection of landscapes\, disturbance and risk. She is particularly interested in bringing anti-racist principles to the teaching of science\, including the use of interdisciplinary stories to bring non-traditional content into the curriculum. \n\n\n\n\n\nTour Itinerary: If you happen to arrive late and need to catch up with us\, the start of the tour will be at the 1600 block of N. Montford Avenue. From there we will proceed to Oliver Community Farm\, 1325 N. Bond St.\, and finally to Johnston Square Farm\, 1310 Homewood Avenue. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTravel logistics: The farms are not quite within walking distance. Biking and carpooling are encouraged\, so we don’t have a large group of cars moving from one location to the next. \n\n\n\nBiking: If you want to bring your bike\, park your car at Johnston Square Farm\, 1310 Homewood Ave. (where the tour will eventually end). Then ride to the start of the tour\, the East Broadway Berry and Tree Farm\, at the 1600 block of N. Montford Ave. Meet us there at 3pm. If you are interested in bike-caravaning from Johnston Square\, meet at the Farm no later than 2:45 pm. \n\n\n\nDriving: If you are carpooling with friends and are not already meeting elsewhere\, we recommend parking all cars at Johnston Square Farm\, 1310 Homewood Ave.\, and then driving the single car to the tour’s start\, the 1600 block of N. Montford Ave.
