Conversation: Environmental Racism and the Arts

This discussion will focus on environmental racism, social justice, and the arts. It brings together Jordan Weber, Des Moines-based multi-disciplinary artist; Michael Allen, Senior Lecturer in Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design; Inez Bordeaux, Organizer for Close the Workhouse and Manager of Community Collaborations at ArchCity Defenders; and Geoff Ward, Professor of African and African-American Studies.

Weber’s St. Louis residency focuses on social and environmental justice, incarceration, and healing with a specific focus on the Close the Workhouse campaign.
