Public and Civic Spaces are meant for public gathering. While you have the right to protest, certain spaces can be used/weaponized against you. Protect yourself, each other, and stay aware. Feel free to share. #BlackLivesMatter #IndigenousLivesMatter

@JamillaMohamud Love this! We started a series titled “The Video Bar” where we look at cities and spaces as explored in popular culture. We had a Toronto episode just last week:

Music videos can provide such a valuable perspective on space.

@HostileArchWpg nice feed y’all! good job

[The [204] Design Collective @204_design]

@HostileArchWpg good question 🧐

[NHSworkshop3 @HostileArchWpg]

Accessible architecture and planning of cities is arguably one of the most important aspects of design. Cities must be designed to benefit those who are not part of the small percentage of the privileged population and begin designing and planning for the communities at large.

@HostileArchWpg one of the most evil public space interventions to ever exist 😤 thanks for highlighting this

The *best* thing I've done as a PhD researcher is read outside of my "discipline" - anthropology, Black studies, geography (!!), African studies, philosophy, visual studies, cultural studies, literature, history. Our world is interdisciplinary, we have to learn to think so, too.

[The [204] Design Collective @204_design]

we love to see it!

Canadian Members of Parliament & US Members of Congress venting each other into space. What could go wrong?

“THANKSGIVING” IS AN INTRICATE AND NECESSARY PART OF THE SETTLER MYTH.

THE FALSE NARRATIVE REINFORCES THE IDEA THAT SETTLE COLONIALISM WAS AND IS A PEACEFUL AND MUTUAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND SETTLERS.

The lack of memorials and monuments dedicated to the victims of slavery is leading to ignorance and memory loss, says @dadjaye.

Urbanism Challenge!

Up until recently, being explicit about race, class, gender etc. has been taboo across urbanism fields. But our identities matter; they inform our professional values + approaches. Here’s a simple prompt I use to help urbanists locate themselves...

I am relieved & wish the first Black woman VP & Biden well. But
not being fascist isn’t the same as being progressive. My MVP is Stacey Abrams & all Black women w/ a history of community service and ethical leadership. This is the focus of my celebration.

when you get 100 first year architecture students talking about decolonization and designing responses to anti-black & brown racism in urbanist practices 😀😭🤟🏽

[The [204] Design Collective @204_design]

Can’t wait to see the students final work!
