Description<\/h3>\n

In the fourth lecture of this series, we delve into the role of parks and public spaces in providing space and opportunities for celebration, collective\/individual sense of joy, inclusion and diversity. There will be an opening lecture and a keynote lecture, followed by a moderated Q&A with three dynamic women:<\/p>\n

Opening Speakers<\/strong>:<\/em>\u00a0frida&frank, a group of female urban catalysts looking to change people’s perspectives on public space. frida&frank’s\u00a0Haley Roeser<\/strong> &\u00a0Eleanor Arkin<\/strong>\u00a0discuss the importance of\u00a0play<\/em>\u00a0and in having people directly engage with public space, weather, and each other.<\/p>\n

Keynote speaker:\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Kamala Todd,<\/strong> Aboriginal Community Planner and film maker<\/p>\n

Bios:<\/h3>\n

For six years she was the City of Vancouver\u2019s Aboriginal Social Planner, and she continues to work with the City as an independent consultant to help build relationships within the context of (re)conciliation.<\/p>\n

Kamala created\u00a0Storyscapes<\/em>, a community arts and storytelling project to help bring greater recognition for the many diverse stories of Indigenous and urban Aboriginal people in Vancouver. This included a partnership with NFB to create\u00a0Our City Our Voices<\/em>, an oral history video project recording Indigenous stories with youth and Elders, as well as residents in the Downtown Eastside.<\/p>\n
