New Orleans’ French Quarter is world-famous for its food, music, and architecture. Often erased are the ways in which people who are Indigenous, of African descent, women, and queer/LGBTQIA+ have created and changed this place.

This tour situates the French Quarter’s architecture, design and preservation practices within past and present political movements like Reconstruction, labor organizing, feminism and queer liberation. Participants will learn and share strategies for surfacing and preserving the legacies of similar histories in any place, through principles of design justice and antiracist preservation.

This Field Study requires walking several blocks between stops over a period of 2+ hours so please dress appropriately with comfortable shoes and rain gear as appropriate. Water will be provided if you forget your water bottle.

Pre-Registration is required to attend this session.
