SUMMARY:Upcycle\, Uplift (Artist Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:This is an artist workshop with Upcycle\, Uplift\, which proposes a utopian solution to the current housing crisis by developing a line of recycled clothing created in workshops and remodeled based on the needs of homeless people. The participatory project invites the public to engage in deep listening with homeless people\, opening themselves up to the complex issues that drive people to the street beyond the stereotypical assumptions. By designing and creating clothes that meet the needs of unhoused people\, Upcycle\, Uplift helps to restore dignity to those living on the street. Yasuda further tries to establish Upcycle\, Uplift as a clothing brand and discusses concepts with college students and faculty members for an alternative economic system that can distribute profits in more egalitarian ways.  \n  \nAbout Sachigusa Yasuda \nBorn and raised in Japan\, Yasuda moved to New York City in 2009 and has been creating artworks from the worldview of a woman and an ethnic minority.

SUMMARY:Art / Activism / Context / Surveillance (Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:This lecture\, held on Zoom\, traces the development of Beirne’s activist art and performance practice in relation to some precedents in modern art history. Email myamamura3524@gmail.com for registration information. \nThe artist will present selections from his work since the early ’70s that address political and sociological concerns. Also\, Beirne will discuss the genesis and implementation of Priority Seating\, his participatory work created for the UnHomeless NYC exhibition\, with special attention to surveillance. \nBill Beirne currently lives and works in New York City. For more than four decades\, Beirne’s conceptual art has examined public space\, communication\, interactivity\, and sociological concerns through public performances. In addition to exhibitions in the US and in Eastern and Western Europe\, he was commissioned by the Madison Square Park Conservancy’s public art series\, Madison Square Art. In his video installation and performance Madison Square Trapezoids\, Beirne\,  as “The Vigilant Groundsman\,” performed absurdist lawn maintenance tasks within the boundaries of live surveillance-monitored areas of the park.

SUMMARY:How to Begin Again: An Initiation Towards Unitary Urbanism
DESCRIPTION:HOW TO BEGIN AGAIN: AN INITIATION TOWARDS UNITARY URBANISM \nMiguel Robles-Durán (Cohabitation Strategies) \nZoom \n  \nCohStra’s Venice Architecture Biennale piece\, How to Begin Again: An Initiation Towards Unitary Urbanism\, is a response to the question curator Hashim Sarkis posed\, “How will we live together” in the midst of global crises like climate change\, wealth inequality\, mass migrations\, political polarization\, and now pandemics? The current state of global\, neoliberal urbanization exploits communities\, cultures\, and the environment. How to Begin Again is a 4-step initiation to a new awareness about alternatives for the future of urban design. It centers on the concept of unitary urbanism\, which CohStra redefines as “an anti-capitalist and transdisciplinary practice that attempts to bridge popular and scientific knowledge to co-produce social and environmental justice in cities.” \nIn 2008\, the urbanist Miguel Robles-Durán\, together with his work partners Lucia Babina\, Emiliano Gandolfi\, and Gabriela Rendón\, founded Stichting Cohabitation Strategies (CohStra)\, an international nonprofit cooperative for socio-spatial research and development based in Rotterdam and New York City. CohStra focuses on conditions of urban decline\, inequality\, and segregation within the contemporary city. The group developed and designed over a dozen transdisciplinary urban projects in Europe\, Asia\, North America\, and South America\, utilizing different methodologies to structure frameworks that catalyze grassroots-led transformations.
