Via the EVG inbox... another cool program at the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space...
MUSEUM OF RECLAIMED URBAN SPACE to celebrate release of: THE ARCHITECTURE OF CHANGE: BUILDING A BETTER WORLD.
"The Architecture of Change: Building a Better World" is a collection of essays and photos demonstrating how people from all walks of life and every socioeconomic level can create real change in their communities and beyond. These are people who refused to accept that things couldn’t change, who saw the possibility of making something better, and didn’t hesitate to act.
Bullet Space, a housing and art collective founded in the East Village in 1986, has blossomed into a “battlefield of ideas” for the global arts and activist communities. The building, its history and residents are among real-world examples found in the newly released book, which addresses issues of innovative housing, neighborhood reclamation, community empowerment, racism, aging, gentrification, displacement, and the power of social networks.
Maggie Wrigley, an East Village resident who contributed the essay and photos on Bullet Space, also serves as co-editor along with Jerilou Hammett, editor and co-founder, with Kingsley Hammett, of DESIGNER/builder: A Journal of The Human Environment, an independent and nontraditional journal that brought issues of social justice and equity to the debate over the built and human environment.
Wrigley, a familiar face on the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space’s (MoRUS) weekend walking tours, will celebrate the release of the book at MoRUS with a slide show and reading tonight at 7.
Refreshments will be served and admission is free, but a $5 suggested donation is always appreciated. MoRUS is located at 155 Avenue C between 9th and 10th Streets
