SPACES Gallery and the Case Western Reserve University Department of Art History and Art invite you to attend a community-centered event titled From Lake to Lagoon: Exploring Sustainability in Cleveland & Venice.
Saturday May 6, 2023 from 10-12 am in Room 119 of the Samson Pavilion (Health Education Campus), 9501 Euclid Avenue in Cleveland.
This event is part of the public programming complementing the U.S. Pavilion exhibition Everlasting Plastics curated by SPACES for the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale. Everlasting Plastics investigates plastics as a cultural metaphor, and as “mineable” materials through which artists and viewers can investigate pressing issues of sustainability and environmental justice.
This town hall-style gathering will provide an opportunity to network with other leaders in sustainability, waste policy and practices, and environmental justice. There will be informational tables from community organizations and a catered continental breakfast buffet. Attendees will also hear from Tizziana Baldenebro (Executive Director, SPACES) and Lauren Leving (Curator, MoCA) live from Venice, Italy in an exciting conversation moderated by Joyce Huang, Director for the City of Cleveland’s City Planning Commission.
If you are not able to join in person, you can still participate virtually. The panel discussion will be live-streamed tfrom Venice via webinar.
