Architecture & Design NOW series featuring Jen de los Reyes
LAND
March 10 | 6 p.m. | Room L1060
Free admission, everyone welcome

Jen de los Reyes will share an introduction to LAND—a site of research, cultivation, care, and conservation established by Reyes and artist Oscar Rene Cornejo. The project combines histories of artists’ engagement with land-based practices and techniques with environmental regeneration and conservation to cultivate sustainable futures.

LAND is not a school, conservancy, or community garden. While sharing some relationship to these forms, the ethos is rooted in philosophies of covivencia (shared living/kinship) using forms of social architecture to build relationships between people, their environment, and contemporary art practice.

Jen joins us via zoom in L1060 for this talk.

Jen de los Reyes is an artist, educator, and community arts organizer. With roots in the DIY music scene, her work blends pedagogical, ecological, and organizational methodologies. She founded Open Engagement and co-founded the Art and Social Practice MFA program at Portland State University.
