Kenton Card

Presentation

In March 2023, Kenton Card and colleagues will be hosting a 5-day workshop (25-29th March) with students at the Free University of Berlin titled ‘Housing Activist, Film Workshop’. Reflecting on this workshops process and his recent publication, “From the Streets to the Statehouse: How tenant movements affect housing policy in Los Angeles and Berlin” (2022), Kenton’s practice-led approach to urban planning will form the bases for his contribution to the second edition of our 10th anniversary (2023) focus on “House and Home, Speculation in the City”.
