June 20 Atlas of Conflict

We have unprecedented access-exposure to a torrent of information, real time, about the world, not only around us, but around the world. A natural reaction is compartmentalization. I strongly believe in professional responsibility as an organizing principal for managing that.

Malkit Shoshan may too. He is an Israeli architect and author of Atlas of the Conflict, a book detailing the interplay of architecture and planning with politics in the subregion.

Mathew Stadler continues his thoughtful dinner discussion program established as the Back Room under the umbrella of Publication Studio.

You, thoughtful and curious Portlander's, gather over food at Refuel North Station, a food cart pod, to hear a talk and discuss with the speaker and one another the topic and whatever.

Publication Studio brings to mix the capability of printing a book. In this case, the subscriber fee includes a copy of Shoshan's book printed by the Publication Studio's printer and binder, food and conversation. You can bring your own beverages of persuasion on the lowdown.

Details and reservations, limited to 20 and required by the website at www.publicationstudio.biz/events/. N Killingsworth and N Greeley. 5:30PM sharp $30
