Preservation Laws, Preservation Movements

Historic preservation movements have succeeded in creating laws worldwide, including the frameworks of local, state, and federal preservation laws in the US. Yet preservation also has remained a cultural movement, sometimes utilizing those laws for good but also occasionally finding those laws to be a hindrance to what people demand. This third session examines the ways in which preservation laws operate, and how activists interact with the legal structure.

Registration for each class is required. Please contact programs@pulitzerarts.org if you require any accommodations to participate in the program.
