How can artists help us see our environment in new and unexpected ways? How do city planners use data, lived experiences, interviews, and other tools to address issues in the city? Join Jodie Nazaka, Senior Planner for the City of Manchester, and Samantha Cataldo, curator of contemporary art at the Currier Museum, for a conversation about city planning and the ways in which artists can provide valuable perspectives on municipal issues, with a focus on the work featured in the exhibition Critical Cartography: Larissa Fassler in Manchester. Fassler’s drawings reflect her experiences in the city while visiting from Berlin, Germany in the summer of 2019, and raise questions that encourage critical dialogue.
