This multifaceted explorative series aims to excavate the ground for these manifestations and meanings to better understand how we (humans) situate ourselves in the world and in relation to each other\, to our pasts\, and to the more-than-human – materials\, systems\, species. We explore its significance as a noun (the ground; a material)\, a verb (to ground; its agency)\, and an adjective (to be grounded; situated). In particular\, the series will consider the ground as both a site of exploitation and extraction\, as well as resistance and creation. The series of conversations\, exhibition and field happenings focused on questions of landscape and its varied grounds\, integrates activists\, designers\, artists\, scholars\, scientists\, environmentalists with diverse and intersectional identities. \nPerhaps the most considered “grounds” by landscape architects\, broken ground refers to sites of contamination\, extraction and disturbance. Yet the discourse around extraction has remained relatively focused on discrete sites of large-operation “natural resource” extraction (mainly mines)\, rather than more nuanced environmental manifestations including the extraction of value and labor. Additionally\, rhetoric around remediation and mitigation have largely left out the ground as a source of risk to bodies most exposed. This final conversation additionally interrogates what it means to live and die on the grounds we (humans) have profoundly altered. \nMODERATOR: Vittoria Di Palma\, PhD\, Associate Professor\, USC School of Architecture \nInvitees practicing across art\, geography\, environmental humanities\, medical anthropology\, landscape architecture URL:https://socal-asla.org/event/ground-broken-grounds-part-7/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:USC Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210518T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210518T193000 DTSTAMP:20260403T064020 CREATED:20210518T170046Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210518T170046Z UID:7537-1621360800-1621366200@socal-asla.org SUMMARY:ExCom Meeting DESCRIPTION:Monthly business meeting of the SoCal Leadership \n  URL:https://socal-asla.org/event/excom-meeting-2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210515 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210516 DTSTAMP:20260403T064020 CREATED:20210407T160910Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210407T160910Z UID:7424-1621036800-1621123199@socal-asla.org SUMMARY:Chapter Call for Nominations Closes DESCRIPTION:The chapter is actively seeking nominations for the 2021-2022 calendar year.  Learn More Here \n  URL:https://socal-asla.org/event/chapter-call-for-nominations-closes/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210514T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210514T140000 DTSTAMP:20260403T064020 CREATED:20210421T211345Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210421T211351Z UID:7465-1620991800-1621000800@socal-asla.org SUMMARY:ASLA National Hosts LARE Prep Workshop Section 4: Grading\, Drainage and Construction Documents DESCRIPTION:National ASLA’s LARE Prep Committee will host virtual L.A.R.E.

It will consider how the ground is structured by dominant systems to which Others must conform. Queer\, gendered\, racialized bodies\, otherly-abled bodies\, non-human bodies are all distinct in their ground negotiations but share their exclusion from hegemonic structures of ground formation. Grouping these categories of variant bodies is not intended to exaggerate the process of Othering\, but to discuss ways to mobilize across difference to upend structures of exclusion. \nMODERATOR: Gail Dubrow\, PhD\, Professor\, University of Minnesota\, School of Architecture \nInvitees practicing across disability studies\, queer studies\, gender studies\, international human rights\, animal studies\, landscape architecture \nRegister Here URL:https://socal-asla.org/event/ground-othered-grounds-part-vi/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:USC Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210428T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210428T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T064020 CREATED:20210413T194744Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210413T194744Z UID:7447-1619622000-1619625600@socal-asla.org SUMMARY:Using Outdoor Spaces for Teaching and Learning- Part II DESCRIPTION:A two-part webinar series\, “Supporting Student Resilience by Using Outdoor Spaces for Health\, Learning and Play”.

This conversation is intended to consider the intersection of geo-/spatio- political forces and geophysical instability\, including what it means to occupy or be forced to occupy (or flee) risky ground. It additionally aims to imagine how grounds deemed instable have the potential to be sites of possibility\, for alternate modes and models of existence. \nMODERATOR: Davi Schoen\, USC Faculty\, Landscape Designer\, STOSS \nInvitees practicing across media studies\, anthropology\, art\, climate science\, geography\, landscape architecture \nRegister Here  URL:https://socal-asla.org/event/7251/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:USC Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210422 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210425 DTSTAMP:20260403T064020 CREATED:20210113T181625Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210113T181625Z UID:7149-1619049600-1619308799@socal-asla.org SUMMARY:Trustee and Chapter President Meeting DESCRIPTION:Mid Year Meeting for all chapter Trustees and chapter Presidents URL:https://socal-asla.org/event/trustee-and-chapter-president-meeting/ LOCATION:Virtual END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210421T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210421T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T064020 CREATED:20210409T194704Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210409T194824Z UID:7437-1619006400-1619010000@socal-asla.org SUMMARY:StimULI Panel: Bringing the LA River Back to Life DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles County recently released the public draft of the LA River Master Plan\, created to unify and revitalize the LA River for the community and environment.

It serves as both witness and material testimony to human deeds and misdeeds that have occurred on very specific grounds (ground zeros) – often deemed hallowed. The ground holds the traces of past presences – memories of hands that worked it and the bodies buried within it.

This multifaceted explorative series aims to excavate the ground for these manifestations and meanings to better understand how we (humans) situate ourselves in the world and in relation to each other\, to our pasts\, and to the more-than-human – materials\, systems\, species. We explore its significance as a noun (the ground; a material)\, a verb (to ground; its agency)\, and an adjective (to be grounded; situated). In particular\, the series will consider the ground as both a site of exploitation and extraction\, as well as resistance and creation. The series of conversations\, exhibition and field happenings focused on questions of landscape and its varied grounds\, integrates activists\, designers\, artists\, scholars\, scientists\, environmentalists with diverse and intersectional identities. \nPart II – Working grounds \nWhile the ground is a space of care\, it has also been the site of exploited hands and broken bodies. This conversation will focus on both the care of the ground as embodied practice\, and the conflicted and often violent relationship between labor and land. Ancestral and indigenous knowledge systems will be integral to the former\, and practices of enslavement and unfree labor the latter\, to generate a fuller understanding of the ground as a space of work and conflict – the work of care and the violence of work. \nMODERATOR: Alison Hirsch\, PhD\, FAAR\, Associate Professor/Director of Landscape Architecture + Urbanism\, USC School of Architecture \nInvitees practicing across history\, environmental humanities\, indigenous land care\, landscape architecture \nRegister Here URL:https://socal-asla.org/event/ground-part-ii/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:USC Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210228T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210228T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T064020 CREATED:20210120T000146Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210120T000206Z UID:7168-1614499200-1614531600@socal-asla.org SUMMARY:Section 2 - Inventory and Analysis DESCRIPTION:Knowledge and skills related to inventory\, data gathering\, analysis\, programming\, regional land use planning\, site land use planning\, and principles of design. \nAdvance enrollment required; no enrollment at the door \nTaught by Angela Woodward\, ASLA\, landscape architect (CA 2126).

As we contemplate its possible futures within the geologic epoch of the Anthropocene\, we additionally mine the histories of extraction\, exploitation\, and violence that have brought us to this point. Operating across a range of scales\, timeframes\, and depths\, this initial conversation explores the animate\, relational\, and differentiated articulations of the “ground” as material. \nMODERATOR: Aroussiak Gabrielian\, PhD\, FAAR\, Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture + Urbanism\, USC School of Architecture \nInvitees practicing across art\, environmental humanities\, art theory\, soil science\, landscape architecture \nRegister Here URL:https://socal-asla.org/event/ground/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:USC Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210224T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210224T100000 DTSTAMP:20260403T064020 CREATED:20210217T231544Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210217T231623Z UID:7282-1614157200-1614160800@socal-asla.org SUMMARY:Acknowledging Historic Black Landscapes DESCRIPTION:For the 12th annual HALS Challenge\, the Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS) invites you to document historic Black landscapes. \nRegister now to join us on February 24 to learn more about the HALS Challenge\, historic cultural landscapes\, the Texas Freedom Colony Atlas & Study\, and New York City Parks’ documentation of historic Black landscapes. \nRegister Here \n  \n  URL:https://socal-asla.org/event/acknowledging-historic-black-landscapes/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210218T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210218T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T064020 CREATED:20201210T220534Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210215T180306Z UID:7077-1613671200-1613674800@socal-asla.org SUMMARY:Emerging Professionals Happy Hour DESCRIPTION:Emerging Professional Mixer \n  \nRegister Here \n  URL:https://socal-asla.org/event/emerging-professionals-happy-hour/ LOCATION:Virtual END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
