We look at housing as a right and a home but
at the June 16 Richmond Art Gallery symposium, Resistance Begins at Home, housing
can also be a barrier, a cultural provocation and a solution.
The symposium is divided into three sections
over the course of the afternoon.
Starting at 1 p.m. the panel will look at how
we got to where we are in Richmond with housing with a session entitled,
Historical Perspectives.
The speakers are: Dr. Leonora Angeles of UBC
School of Community and Regional Planningand the Women’s and
Gender Studies Undergrad Program; Denise Cook, Heritage Conservation Planner and
researcher of Richmond’s Suburban History report;
and Terry Point, Research and Public Outreach at Musqueam First Nation; Dr. Nathanael Lauster, Author of The Death and Life of the
Single Family House: Lessons from Vancouver on Building a Livable City will moderate the session.
The second session of the day looks at Local
Housing Activists and Innovative Solutions with speakers; David Dorrington of
Finn Slough Heritage and Wetland Society;
Caitlin Jones, Executive Director of Western Front; and a
representative from Tiny House Warriors and with moderator Dr. Jeff Shantz
of KPU Department of Criminology and Social Justice Centre.
The final session tackles Artist Responses
with speakers Anastasia Koutalianos of BC Tiny House Collectiveand media worker/researcher Irwin
Oostindie in conversation with Germaine Koh. Koh will be the featured artist for the
Richmond Art Gallery exhibition, Home Made Homes.
