Reshaping Practice

TCLF’s Oberlander Prize Forum II: Landscape Activism | October 28, 2022

People Lab members Max Dickson and Dani Toronyi presented their emergent research initiatives ‘PrideScapes’ and ‘Design for Neurodivergence’ at The Cultural Landscape Foundation’s second Oberlander Prize Forum - Landscape Activism - in Dallas, Texas on October 28, 2022.

The forum explored the depth, complexity, and entrepreneurship of activist practices throughout the country. Max and Dani joined a group of notable design professionals, historians, and critics to consider the ambitions and directions of activist practices today and showcase the ways that landscape architecture is often taking the lead in these efforts.
