Black Landscape Matter - Dr. Walter Hood
A special lecture from Walter Hood, who we think is the most important landscape architect and academic in the United States today! The question "Do black landscapes matter?" cuts deep to the core of American history. From the plantations of slavery to contemporary segregated cities, from freedman villages to northern migrations for freedom, the nation’s landscape displays the fragments of diverse, often oppressive origins. Black landscapes matter because they tell the truth. The College of Humanities and Fine Arts @umasshfa welcomes acclaimed landscape designer and public artist Walter Hood as the inaugural speaker in the Dean's Distinguished Lecture Series. His lecture "Black Landscapes Matter discusses landscape architects, planning professionals, and scholars to probe how race, memory, and meaning intersect in the American landscape.
