The enacted environment: Mexican and Mexican-American Placemaking in East Los Angeles

A two person panel by: James Rojas (urban planner, community activist, artist and scholar; Founder of Latino Urban Forum, Gallery 727 and Place It) and Rodolfo Torres (Professor of Urban Planning, Chicano/Latino Studies, Political Science and Culture and Theory at UC-Irvine’s School of Social Ecology)

Come out to this student-led conference on Saturday and Sunday for two packed days of lectures, workshops, screenings and panel discussion. ‘Towards a Participatory Urban Commons in Latin(@) America’ brings together a group of (mostly young and queer) Latinx scholars, architect-planners and activists whose work foregrounds socio-spatial, racial and environmental justice through the creation of ‘participatory urban commons’ in Latin America and Latinx communities in the United States.” For more information, visit go/urbancommons.
