Inspired by an interest in the relationships between place, creative practice, and counter-hegemonic social and political action, over 60 participants attended this event and explored ideas about cultural activism; the spatiality of contentious politics; social movements; and theories of community in the fields of human and cultural geography, urban studies, planning theory and policy, cultural studies, women’s studies, sociology, and performance studies.
