I will be videotaping this talk put on by the Center for Urban Pedagogy, where I had my collaborative residency last spring. It should be quite great. Miriam Greenberg is also coincidentally my neighbor and I have heard only amazing things about her book. It should be especially interesting for artists, urban planners and people living in gentrifying neighborhoods. Be sure to RSVP & bring an ID.
