The Public Art/Housing Publics: Conversations on Art and Social Justice Symposium explored innovative collaborations across cultural and social justice sectors. How can we sustain affordable housing and healthy neighborhoods in our communities? How can we sustain a thriving artistic life for our citizens? Most importantly, how can we answer both of these questions together? Timed to coincide with the residency of UC-Berkeley Regents Lecturer, Rick Lowe of Project Row Houses, participants included artists, scholars, civic organizers, and affordable housing developers from around the Bay Area.
