January 9, 2015, 11:30 a.m. — Uneven Growth: Tactical Urbanisms for Expanding Megacities
The recent proliferation of informal cities, favelas, and illegal and ad hoc housing in cities around the world is a physical manifestation of the widening gulf between the haves and the have-nots. Explore how contemporary architects are responding to this humanitarian, economic, and political crisis using small-scale, grass-roots design strategies in six cities: Mumbai, Hong Kong, New York, Lagos, Rio de Janeiro, and Istanbul.
In conjunction with the exhibition Uneven Growth: Tactical Urbanisms for Expanding Megacities
Gallery Sessions, impromptu interactions facilitated by Museum educators that explore the creative process, art history, and the experience of art, take place daily in select galleries. Groups meet in the galleries noted on the schedule. Gallery Sessions are free with Museum admission. No registration is required.
Sign language–interpreted Gallery Sessions are held every fourth Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m. FM headsets for sound amplification are available for all talks.
