The school of Industrial Design invites you to a RE:Design event on Collage and co-creation as abolitionist practice.
The collaborative, creative, and material process of making collages, opens space for us to share, to listen, to think through, and to make (representations of) speculative futures together. In this presentation, Dr. Gelbard will expand on the connections between research co-creation, arts-based methods, and transformative (housing) justice in her work with community organizations and women and gender-diverse people with lived experience of housing insecurity and criminalization in Canada.
Dr. Sarah Gelbard (she/her) is a critical community-based urban planning and architecture scholar. Her research and community work engages with stories of spatial justice and community practice through complex histories of power, exclusion, and urban inequities. She is currently an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Criminology at the University of Ottawa, and a contract instructor with the Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Carleton University.
