Description
Join us for an intergenerational conversation on how to create more just and equitable public spaces in Cambridge; where the lives and voices of Cambridge womxn are uplifted and our streets, monuments, and memorials better reflect the rich diversity of our city. Currently, only 7% of the people commemorated in Cambridge’s street names are women.
We’ll be joined by Cambridge City Councillor E. Denise Simmons; Professor Catherine D'Ignazio, Director of the MIT Data + Feminism Lab; and MIT and Harvard Urban Planning students, Clara Amenyo, Osamu Kumasaka, & Lenna Johnsen, who highlighted these disparities by creating an Instagram filter, street map, and playing cards featuring Cambridge women.
This program is presented by Cambridge Commission on the Status of Women and Cambridge Historical Commission.
