A lecture and conversation with Jennifer Gray, co-curator of Frank Lloyd Wight at 150: Unpacking the Archive, about Wright's engagement with different ecologies at various scales -- from the individual plant to environmental planning, from the midwest to the desert -- and the ways his understanding of nature touched upon questions of race, inequality, and belonging. 

Open to current students, faculty, and staff. Room 315F.
