Steve Bradley, Visual Arts and Nicole King, American Studiespresenting on their collaborative Mapping Baybrook project.
UMBC Associate Professor Steve Bradley of Visual Arts and Assistant Professor Nicole King of American Studies will present their collaborative research “Mapping Baybrook,” an interdisciplinary exploration of place that uses digital mapping to illustrate research on the history and culture of an industrial community in Baltimore, Maryland referred to as Baybrook—a merging of the names of two neighborhoods, Brooklyn and Curtis Bay. The story of Greater Baybrook reflects the tenacity of a community striving for sustainability in the boom and bust of U. S. industrial development.
