@cppla course collective, Unearthing History: Food and the Land the Past is Key to the Future would like to give a big shout out and THANK YOU to @mrsanjayr and all at @gatherfilm and @fndi303 for their film, GATHER which deepened our understanding and dialogue on topics such as the legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery, stolen land and broken promises, food sovereignty and indigenous land practices, culture, labor, health, ceremony and community. . Gather is an intimate portra...it of a growing movement amongst Indigenous Americans to reclaim their spiritual and cultural identities through obtaining sovereignty over their ancestral food systems, while battling against the historical trauma brought on by centuries of genocide. . #watchgather #unearthinghistory #thisisnativeland #indigenous #vote #foodsovreignty #cppla #equitablefutures #intersectionalenvironmentalism #climatecrisis #soicaljustice #education #biodiversity #landaccess #bravelycurious #culturehorticulture See more

BRAVELY LEADING ADVANCEMENT, CURIOSITY, AND KNOWLEDGE IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE (B.L.A.C.K. in L.A.) https://crowdfund.cpp.edu/project/22322 To address the hist...ory of racism and discrimination in planning and design practices of the past, the profession of landscape architecture must broaden career opportunities and amplify voices, experiences, and perspectives beyond what is found in the current discourse of environmental design. In recognition of this need, #CPPLA is establishing a new scholarship: BRAVELY LEADING ADVANCEMENT, CURIOSITY, AND KNOWLEDGE IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE (B.L.A.C.K. in L.A.) to prioritize a future that is community-focused, equitable, relevant, and sustainable. This scholarship will support the Department’s and University’s commitment to diversity and inclusion while making higher education in #landscapearchitetcure more accessible to students from diverse and/or socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds pursuing a career in Landscape Architecture. We need you help to achieve this future! Hit the link in our bio and give. Tag a friend that can help. Tag an office that can support. DM to anyone you think can help! Anyone who has an interest in supporting, or involvement with, equity and inclusion efforts that benefit the long-term diversification of the discipline is encouraged to help us hit an endowment goal of $50k for this scholarship! A big shout-out to the alumni that set this up- Carlos, Anne and Patrick! And a bigger shout-out to the students that challenged the Department to take action!! #onandup #bravelycurious #scholarship #alumni #calpolypomona https://crowdfund.cpp.edu/project/22322

Unearthing History: Food and the Land, the Past is Key to the Future Food is freedom and ancient food-based land use traditions, including farming tie us culturally and intricately to the land. . We are inquiring, analyzing and imagining global relationships to food and the land past, present and future. We are striving to understand histories of the relationship of culture to the land for which there is no textbook. Collectively un-earthing, learning, questioning and comm...unicating, we’re building our knowledge to help us better consider and share ideas for equitable land and food futures and being a part of the transformation. . More to come! . Thanks to those who’ve inspired and supported us in our dialogue! #foodjustice #regenerativelandscapes #intersectionalenvironmentalism #climatecrisis #landscapearchitecture #activism #socialjustice #biodiversity #equitablefutures #health #gaia #landaccess #culturehorticulture #foodsovereignty #farmworkers #california #racialjustice #genderequity #education #cppla #bravelycurious .m @bravelycurious @cppla @culturehorticulture @gatherfilm @firstpeoplesww @projectdrawdown @leahpenniman @cppclimateaction @foodforward @metabolicstudio @sylvanaquafarms @spontaneousvegetation @vandanashiva @southcentralfarm @rsenes @clairelatane @a_o_wilcox @c.e.skovlin @ronfinleyhq @winonaladuke @nadiachri @trowelandfork @michael.pollan @kisstheground @leighlaughing @newton102032 @chaparralchick @zswstudio @farmerrishi @mudbaron @farmermainguyen @blackforager @kofiboone @odetochoy @summaeverythang @fruitstitute @neighborhoodlandtrust @stephanieclimbstrees @greengirlleah @lagoodfood @moonwaterfarm @lacompost @abudu.asaase @acrossourkitchentables @bptfoodsoverignity @thegardensedge @otisfoodpolitics @margaret.renkl @browngirlfarming @radicalfamilyfarms @rodaleinstitute. .

This #LA3121L third-year topic studio with @finchyk explores the #creation and #representation of exquisite objects in an explicitly fabricated #landscape. Using a wide array of #analog, #digital, and post-digital techniques, students #explore the poetics of conjugate objects as they experiment with evocative imagery and #contemporary design #theory. The #studio operates within the realm of #art as object, questions the notions of object as #image, and attempts to locate itse...lf somewhere within representation as #landscape. As designers of the #built #environment, we must understand that the systems we implement extend to the digital realm; now more than ever. . . . #bravelycurious #landscapeswithinlandscapes #future #draw #virtual #visual #real #notreal #conjugation #correlation #build #structure #render #rhino @ Cal Poly Pomona Landscape Architecture See more

In the #LA3121L Applied Site Design topic studio with @mappingthefabric , students examined the policy-based, socio-economic and physical implications of #inequitable appropriation and distribution of #shade and canopy in the #public realm, as well as the #health effects of extreme #urban heat, surface temperatures and #energy demands. Armed with #scientific evidence that shade promotes health and well-being, encourages socially cohesive communities, and has other #environmen...tal and #economic benefits, students advocate - through design - for shade itself as a public good. . . . #shadeasapublicright #reforestration #shade #urbaninfrastructure #shadeinequity #treecanopy #relieffromheat #treeequity #urbanforestry #shadeisapublicgood . . .
