Join the Environmental Justice Professional Practice Network (PPN) for an engaging opportunity to meet and network with other PPN members, representatives from BlackLAN, and Minneapolis residents. One of the Black Landscape Architects Network (BlackLAN)'s goals is to engage with local communities at ASLA. This year, Juxtaposition Arts, a non-profit youth art and design education center in North Minneapolis, is partnering with BlackLAN. In this session, we will learn more about what BlackLAN is, their approach to working with communities, and how Juxtaposition Arts and BlackLAN work to address environmental justice and enhance community resilience and sustainability.

To get to the mezzanine level, take the Hall B lobby escalators (by the EXPO entrance) down one level and turn left, following the convention center signage to rooms M100A-E. Room M100C is right across from the Reflection Room.
