SUMMARY:Do artists & designers contribute to gentrification? What can we do about it? [debate]
DESCRIPTION:While all of the projects featured in Spontaneous Interventions are aimed at improving the quality of life in American cities\, the question remains: improvement for whom?  If some well-intended “improvements” add to gentrification\, is the answer to leave underserved neighborhoods alone? Or is there alternative\, a way to create a better neighborhood for the same neighbors? \, In this debate-style conversation\, Steve Rasmussen Cancian of Shared Spaces in Los Angeles brings his experience working with low-income neighborhoods to improve their surroundings without displacing residents into a live forum. Washington Park residents\, stakeholders and all interested urbanists will debate the roles\, responsibilities and impacts of artists and designers working in under-served neighborhoods; then together\, they will consider how the Arts Incubator can bring art and design to the neighborhood without catalyzing gentrification \nParticipants: Steve Rasmusen Cancian (Shared Spaces)\, Cauleen Smith (artist)\, and others to be announced \n
