Anchorage Design Week Film Screening: Sitting Still
7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb 25
The Anchorage Museum and the Alaska Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects present a special screening of Sitting Still, an original documentary that focuses on one of the world’s most preeminent landscape architects with ties to Alaska, and his profoundly social vision. Hailed as a modern-day Olmsted, Laurie Olin has helped transform the design of public space, revitalize the American city, and pave the way for future design leaders. This portrait of an artist is told through a prism of issues which have defined Olin’s life and work for the past fifty years: urbanization and our lost connection to nature, economic marginalization, and the grave importance of humanity in design.
$5. Film presentation begins at 7:30 p.m.
Entry for the event will be via the Museum's 7th Avenue entrance.
