Date & Time
March 3, 2015, 2:30 pm – 3:45 pm
Description
A screening of the 2013 documentary Gentrification k(NOT) with activist, social worker, sociologist, and filmmaker Jude Lombardi
Gentrification k(NOT) explores the meaning of the term gentrification and how it functions as an element of a system that displaces people from their communities during the revitalization of an urban neighborhood. It all started in August 2012 at Station North Arts Cafe (SNAC), when owner Kevin Brown and filmmaker Jude Lombardi had a conversation about the meaning of gentrification provoked by the closing down of the Load of Fun building. Although gentrification is a global, national and local issue, the G(k) Movie focuses on a particular neighborhood in Baltimore Maryland, USA. In the Gentrification (k)NOT Movie, artists, academics, ministers, politicians and everyday people present their views about neighborhoods in flux and possibilities for change.
