2018-19 Project

Urban planning can be at odds with a community’s history and identity, but linking historic preservation, community development and social equity can create sustainable, resilient, just cities. Jennifer Minner’s work addresses public spaces in communities through a lens of equity and collective memory. Her current projects include developing a framework for socially engaged historic preservation and building in collaboration with Dennis Mahar, founder of The Society for the Advancement of Construction-Related Arts (SACRA) and architecture professor at the University of Buffalo. Other projects include exploration of public art that re-engages displaced or forgotten communities at the sites of mega events, such as the World’s Fair, with photographer Jade Doskow, and on tribal lands with Aboriginal Australian mixed-media artist Jonathan Jones.
