Inspired by the French concept of “paysagisme” — which integrates land art, landscape design, agriculture, urban planning, public space and ecology — the Brown Arts Initiative (BAI) convenes its third symposium to address humanity’s relationship to land. Our exploration is through a cultural and social justice lens that considers issues of nurturance, sustenance, access, respite and intervention. Activist artists and scholars, a designer, poet, curator, chef and food provider share their visionary work examining modes of expression that respond to contemporary culture, embrace the environment and engage the public sphere.

The gathering includes a keynote lecture by multi-disciplinary artist and prison abolitionist Jackie Sumell, plus two panels and a closing conversation:

    Panel 1: Food Chain
    An activist chef and food studies scholar, an urban farmer/poet and a local food provider come together to discuss issues of nurturance, access and sustainability for our shared land

    Panel 2: Contoured Land
    A civil rights activist who uses the construct of museum and memorial to re-narrate the cultural landscape teams up with an artist who pioneered art in the public realm and a professor of art history and environmental studies

    Closing Conversation: Planting Seeds
    Brown faculty members and contemporary art curator share perspectives on the University’s legacy and relationship to land, and efforts to increase understanding of historical impacts on culture and society

For more information on the speakers, please see our keynote speaker and panelists pages.
