Description:

Join Curbed LA Urbanism Editor Alissa Walker in conversation with artist/writer Renée Reizman via Goldwyn-Hollywood Regional Branch Library's Zoom.

Please register for this event via this Eventbrite link.

Alissa Walker connects people with where they live through writing, speaking and walking. As the urbanism editor at CurbedLA, she authors the column Word on the Street, highlighting the pioneering transit, clever civic design and game-changing policy affecting our cities. Alissa lives in Los Angeles, where she is a co-host of LA Podcast, a contributor to the KCRW show Greater LA, and a mom to the city's two most enthusiastic public transit riders.

Renée Reizman is an interdisciplinary curator, artist and writer at the crossroads of curation, social practice and creative placemaking. By embedding herself in small communities or structured organizations for extended periods of time, Renée identifies object-oriented networks shaped by cultural aesthetics, urbanization, law, and technology.

This event is part of the Book to Action program, a framework that takes the basic book club concept and expands it to create a dynamic series of events for adults and intergenerational groups. Librarians work closely with a community partner to develop a series of programs. Community members read and discuss an engaging book on a current topic, attend author or speaker events, and put their newfound knowledge into action by participating in a community service project or civic engagement activity related to the chosen book. The Hollywood Region's selection this year is Harryette Mullen's book of Tanka poems, Urban Tumbleweed.
