The Baltimore Geography Collective presents:
Housing & The Everyday: Crisis, Vibrancy, and Organizing
Please join us on Thursday, October 28th at 7PM for the first part of The Baltimore Conversations,
a panel series bringing together academics and community activists
working in Baltimore. This panel will focus on the structures and
strategies shaping housing and the everyday lives of Baltimoreans. We
hope to challenge the dominant discourse of ‘progress’ that is
predicated on systems of extraction by centering forgotten and
marginalized narratives of the city. We invite dialogue on collectively
shaping a right to the city.
