Join us for a book talk with Daniel Campo, the author of Postindustrial DIY: Recovering American Rust Belt Icons (Fordham University Press,
2024), chronicles grassroots efforts to recover, rebuild, and enjoy architecturally iconic but economically obsolete places in the American Rust Belt.
The book is the culmination of over a dozen years of on-the-ground investigation, ethnography, and historical analysis.
The presentation will be followed by conversation with the audience.
Light refreshments will be provided.
