This event will appeal to the inner architect, urban planner, conservator, educator and engaged citizen in all of us! Cultural landscapes are both the tangible evidence of cultural activity, and the intangible images that these landscapes evoke in the cultural imagination. This talk will explore the cultural landscapes of immigration, as complex layers in urban, rural and wilderness environments. Presented in English in partnership with Willowbank and Prismatic.
