Opening Reception-free and open to the public
Photography Exhibit-work by Doug Richardson
 
This exhibit of beautiful work explores Portland's iconic places at night
using film and long shutter speeds to capture familiar scenes in a different
light.  For Doug this creates an emotional experience that differs
dramatically from daylight shots.
 
A preview of the work and more information can be seen on our website here:

The big house and the quarters; the front door and the back door; lunch
counters, water fountains, the back of the bus. One of the most persistent
ways people exert power over others is to control their access to space.

 

Drawing upon the fields of architecture, environmental studies, urban
design, and public policy, this discussion will pose the following
questions: How do we mark our territory? How do the built environments we
create reflect our values and aspirations? Whom do we include and whom do we
exclude in the process? Touching on gentrification, the decline of public
space, historic preservation, residential segregation, and suburban sprawl,
Reiko Hillyer will lead a conversation about how to read the history of our
communities through the landscapes we build and consider how we can be more
aware of and more engaged in the creation of our surroundings. Hillyer is a
visiting assistant professor of history at Lewis and Clark College, where
she recently won the Teacher of the Year award. She teaches
twentieth-century U.S. history, African American history, the Civil War,
women's history, and the history of the American landscape.
