Panelists and presenters will include:
Stewardance, a collaborative exploration of the relationship between street tree stewardship and mindful movement through the urban environment.
River to Creek, a participatory research project drawing attention to the geographic and ecological connections across the industrial landscape of North Brooklyn.
