Living Concrete/Carrot City
Creative Action and Everyday Urban Agriculture

November 3, 2010
Panel: Laura DeLind, Eve Mosher, Tattfoo Tan, Domenic Vitiello
Moderator: Jean Gardner
Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Gallery, Parsons The New School for Design, 2 W. 13th Street

Urban agriculture in the US, as panelist Domenic Vitiello has written, takes the form of everyday urbanism, “largely disconnected from the world of professional design.” What does it mean for individuals in communities to engage in creative practice to reconnect to their food, neighbors and environment through urban agriculture and the resulting physical engagement with place that growing food requires? Through the eyes of an urban historian, anthropologist, architect, and two artists, the session will explore the role of creative action in urban agriculture practice.

This panel is part of the exhibition Living Concrete/Carrot City exploring the intersections of food, design and community.
