Domino Park is proud to present a 3-part lecture series examining equity, diversity, & access in public spaces with urbanist & professor Lauren Hudson. Here at the park, we think public spaces can be spaces for engagement, continued education, and discussion; “Nature & Urbanism” is part of an initiative to introduce more programming that helps adults learn & grow beyond the classroom.

Cities have never been neutral spaces. They are in constant flux and the very embodiment of politics in action. While we’re used to seeing cities as sites of resistance and revolutionary possibility (e.g. Stonewall, Black Lives Matter, Anti-War protests), we tend to overlook the politics of the built environment itself.

What makes a space natural or unnatural? And how do you know nature when you see it? These three talks will cover how we’ve created a specter called ‘nature’, and how that creation determines who gets to use, rest, and belong in our cities and our public places.

Meet in the seating area next to the Fog Bridge (pier reveal).

Presented in partnership with Think Olio
