Luisa Neubauer is a climate justice activist My hometown owes its story to a massive glacier that covered the entirety of northern Germany during the last ice age Beside and on this water rose the city of Hamburg by the good fortune of being the last European mainland stop before the North Sea the horns of the gigantic container ships passing just a few hundred metres away—all of that on repeat made up my childhood summer days And we didn't ask why; it was just not allowed washed into the river from Hamburg’s overfertilized farmland after rainy days I learned that the container ships operating in the river caused deadly currents which increased with the growth of globalized container shipping when I learned how the uphill battle between my hometown’s ecology and its economy was manifested in my childhood playground There was another thing we noticed that was a bit odd The vast majority of the kids at my school would cycle to school each morning sweating on the last hilly part of the journey so we would find ourselves trapped between a busy sidewalk on the one side and honking school buses and rushing cars on the other We would sigh with relief as we arrived at the school gates We adapted over time: sometimes we would walk our bikes for the most stressful parts of the journey sometimes we would get to school early to avoid the worst of the traffic Hundreds of those mornings passed before we considered that maybe it was the infrastructure I was experiencing an urban environment that had been built with neither children nor nature in mind I was surrounded by the kind of infrastructure that suggested if something felt wrong to us My childhood taught me what it looks like when urban spheres eat each other up creating a subconscious yet omnipresent tension between the adults the natural environment and the built environment None of this is unique; quite the opposite─it resembles dynamics we can see around the world often in even more exploitative and exhausting forms More than half the world’s population lives in urban environments which are often the places experiencing some of the worst consequences of the accelerating global climate crisis tensions and unresolved crises will accelerate and fuel each other It isn't always easy to imagine what the climate crisis really means Florida and its experiences with a recent record-breaking hurricane in every corner of the urbanized world we find glimpses of a climate future that is yet to come We are witnessing the extremes that could become baselines for a century of catastrophic records We don't have to make up new worlds to understand what a climate disaster future could mean for us─all it takes is to not look away from what the world is telling us already And so the real challenge might be to imagine how things could go differently What might it look like for us to take a different path that doesn’t lead to more and more radical disasters but Looking back to little Luisa playing on the polluted riverfront it is quite easy to understand that urban infrastructure that is harmful for nature tends to be harmful for children too It is also easy to see how young dreams of a better world are stifled by infrastructure that implies change is impossible A world that teaches us it is humans who must evolve around the built environment will never inspire young people to think big and imagine different futures It inherently disables agency and dries out opportunities to seek change What if cities didn’t silence their youngest inhabitants but instead listened to them What if they inspired citizens to challenge the status quo and take their own needs seriously What if cities were created around synergies between their different spheres instead of reinforcing tensions and trade-offs realized that something was going wrong in our little world But once the initial thought of potential change in our urban environment was planted We had never interacted with municipal infrastructure planning authorities had never thought about the cost of a bike lane or the conflicts between neighbouring inhabitants who were asked to let go of a few square metres of their front yards we had decided that we would not return to traffic-jammed mornings and the idea of leaving them behind had already become irresistible local consultations and political lobbying to push our local officials to invest in a bike path It was unconventional for youth to engage in local politics and in what would later be called “climate action” That bike lane ended up being the first moment of over a decade of climate activism for me And the more time I spend in climate spaces of all kinds reaching from my neighbourhood all the way to the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP) the more I am convinced that any urban area town or city whose young people are excluded from finding answers to climate change is working against itself It is not only that solutions for children tend to work out for climate and nature too but also that the ability to think big tends to be a characteristic of younger generations whose members have not yet been conditioned to routinely glorify the status quo There is good news: the youth climate justice movement has officially declared that we do not intend to wait until someone invites us to make decisions affecting our own present and future We are going to create space for ourselves at the table we have a right to climate justice and a right to be safe We see leadership from young people who are not only taking to the streets but are remaining there to continue the struggle Years after I stopped playing at the beach but my childhood made me become an activist And now it is up to all of us to decide whether we are going to watch as the times change us or if we’re going to go out and change the times ourselves The UN Chronicle is not an official

important to its city and its inhabitants a fresco that has been revived thanks to careful restoration We are talking about the restoration of the fresco of the Madonna and Child with Saints a Renaissance work located in the Church of Santa Chiara in Urbania which was the subject of an intervention promoted by the Soprintendenza Archeologia Belle Arti e Paesaggio for the Provinces of Ancona and Pesaro and Urbino and made possible thanks to a 9.000 euros through the Art Bonus decree ranking fifth in the national final of the Art Bonus 2024 competition The restoration work was designed and directed by the Superintendency itself In addition to the preservation of the fresco the restoration is part of a broad project to protect the heritage of the Church of St financed by the Worship Buildings Fund starting in 2019.We are located in one of the most beautiful areas of Montefeltro: Urbania is the city of the Ubaldini family from the noble ducal milieau elevated to the rank of diocese and city by Pope Urban VIII in whose honor it changed its name is dotted with its elegant noble buildings and twenty-two places of worship including churches oratories and convents: this is where the Renaissance fresco is located "The restoration work on the Madonna and Child with Saints of Santa Chiara ranked fifth in Italy out of more than 200 projects submitted to the Art Bonus 2024 competition," recalls architect Cecilia Carlorosi Belle Arti e Paesaggio for the provinces of Ancona and Pesaro and Urbino and the professionalism of the Soprintendenza officials and restorers led to this result the Art Bonus has proven to be an effective tool for the protection and enhancement of our country’s heritage also fostering collaboration between the public and private sectors and promoting strategic partnerships with which restoration work can be financed.” The fresco occupies the left wall of the church hall and was discovered in 1977 by Monsignor Corrado Leonardi under a 1631 painting by Simone Cantarini depicting theImmaculate Conception The concealment of the painting occurred in the first half of the 17th century during a renovation ordered by Duke Francesco Maria II Della Rovere Although the fresco has always been recognized as a work of great artistic value although the restoration seems to confirm the historical tradition that has long attributed it to Timoteo Viti (Urbino It has recently been suggested that the hand was that of an artist of the first half of the 16th century with Mannerist influences traceable to Giustino Episcopi the style of the painting highlight a balance between architecture and landscape typical of the Urbino school with similarities to other works by Viti and references to Renaissance painting the idea that it may be a work by Viti is back in vogue “The fresco,” explains art historian Francesca Farina on the left wall of the hall below a 17th-century altarpiece; it depicts a typical Renaissance Sacred Conversation with Madonna and Child among saints and characters connected to the Clarian community lead us to recognize in it the hand of Timoteo Viti a painter from Urbino who was an associate of Raphael and who may have worked on it around 1510.” The subject of the fresco is a classic Renaissance Sacred Conversation the Madonna sits on a throne with the Child in her arms surrounded by saints who reflect the link with the community of the Poor Clares Ursula and the 11,000 Virgin Martyrs are depicted The identification of the figure in cardinal’s robes has also been the subject of debate but currently the most accepted theory points to him as Cardinal Bessarion theologian and cardinal protector of the Franciscan Order characterized by a long white mustache and a full beard “The work,” clarifies architect Biagio De Martinis “led to the complete functional recovery for worship activities and the restoration of the roofing and the arrangement of the church façade.” Time and moisture had compromised the stability of the fresco Deterioration of the masonry had caused detachments while color alterations and abrasions obscured its legibility The restoration therefore began with a meticulous analysis of the state of conservation followed by photographic and graphic documentation Pictorial retouching was carried out with watercolor glazes and in this way the chromatic unity was restored without altering the originality of the work One of the most interesting aspects of the restoration was the discovery of traces of the original coloring of the Virgin’s mantle a portion of azurite emerged on the left shoulder of the Madonna revealing that the mantle was originally an intense blue the pigment had degraded and had left clearly visible the underlying morellone a brown base to which the blue was dry-applied The painstaking work of restoring the Madonna and Child with Saints in the Church of Santa Chiara in Urbania has thus made it possible to rediscover rather unprecedented specifics and to renew the link between the painting and the community that guards it The fresco restoration project thus aims to demonstrate that the artistic heritage of the past remains a living reality in the present made so by the joint efforts of institutions LaSalle and Urbania have received building permits for a 14,500 sqm purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development LaSalle Investment Management and Urbania an investment and asset management company with a €1.1bn portfolio under management have announced their joint venture partnership to develop a

price goes upto ₹ 37.21 Lakh Urbania is offered in 8 variants - the base model of Urbania is 3615WB 14Str and the top model Force Urbania 4400WB 13Str If your entire family is together in today's world even if they are going on a picnic or for a function because it has become a benchmark for family MPVs But I can guarantee you that you are forgetting an option in the range of Rs 30-35 lakhs and 10 members of your family can sit in it and go comfortably So can Urbania become the next ‘car’ for your big family or a customised ride for your small family or will one or two Innovas be better for you?  Now it is obvious that you must be thinking why am I showing you a commercial car and your family will not travel in any traveller which means that you can also register it privately 9 passengers plus driver is the maximum limit of any car to register it on a white plate this Urbania is made on a monocoque chassis like a car you can also customise the cabin as per your needs you don't get a simple key like a traveller which also comes with lock and unlock switches there is no passive keyless entry request sensor on the door The good thing is that you can also turn on the hazards by pressing the key the intensity of these headlamps is not that good its height and the entire glass panel is its highlight These are made of steel and have a wheel cap on them But the good thing is that you get disc brakes on all four wheels The good thing is that you get LED tail lamps here And the offset number plate looks a bit off this Urbania looks a lot like Ford Transit Which is a very good thing because it is a very good-looking van like a black colour with black tinted glasses and black wheels there was always a little problem in going to the back seat You had to go through the front door by folding the seat And then you have an easy step to go inside a light has also been given here to aid in the dark The height here is so much that you can easily walk in this car without ducking   The front seats and the last row seats get a lot of legroom because of the wheel well The least amount of legroom is in the middle row - so let's talk about these which helps you avoid fatigue on long distances The seat back also has a bit of contouring - which keeps you comfortable The good thing is that you can also recline these seats to a large extent you also get fully adjustable armrests as well.    The windows are huge and because of this - a lot of heat comes in the air conditioning of this car is excellent You get separate controls to control the rear air conditioner and the front air conditioner And when it blows very cold air to cool down the cabin quickly Which can be adjusted completely or can also be closed every seat has its own individual cabin lights every seat has its own USB chargers and every seat has its own bottle holders But there is no shortage of possibilities in Urbania You can upgrade these seats by giving them better foam or add better covers or armrest However - if you want to turn it into a caravan - there is no limit on customization You can leave these front seats and put two big captain seats in the back along with a folding seat bed You can customise this whole cabin according to your requirements the range of customisation can vary from affordable to very expensive It is very easy to get in and out of Urbania because there is a side step with its own light along with ergonomically placed grab handles The cabin is also designed like a car and not like any truck or bus The steering is completely straight the way it is in cars and this driver's seat is customisable with height the steering wheel also adjusts for tilt and reach And then comes its instrument cluster which is of course analogue But in the middle you get a digital screen where all the vital information is given like trip and efficiency all the other controls whether they are lights or AC stay within your reach making the cabin very ergonomic.  its ORVMs are manually adjustable and there are no manual adjustment levers inside If there was a cabin conversation mirror here it could have been easier to talk to the family.  There is no shortage of practicality and storage here either there is space in the middle to keep your phone and wallet the passenger has his own phone slot with a charger and the driver and passenger both have covered storage If this is not enough - you also have a glove box and double decker door pocket which are massive you are going to get limited features in the Urbina You have power windows for both the driver and passengers with one touch down cabin lighting and finally a 7-inch touch screen with wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay This comes with a two-speaker sound system the speaker blanks are installed throughout the cabin so can easily be upgraded.  you might feel that the safety features have been ignored You get airbags for the passenger and driver And if you are going to take this car to a mountainous area or a snowy area - you get the convenience of auto hold And as I mentioned before - disc brakes on all four wheels so its braking performance is also impressive then there should be no shortage of luggage space this Urbania is its short wheelbase version which means that you get very little space behind the last row you can keep some suitcases and bags under the seats But if there are a lot of big suitcases in the family then they will not be able to fit here easily you will have to install a carrier on top if it is legal you get only the space to keep overnight bags behind the last row But the best thing is that you get a medium wheelbase Urbania instead of a short wheelbase - the last row space is completely empty in the 9 plus driver configuration You can keep as many things as you want and in fact Force itself sells a luggage rack where you can also stack your luggage properly The longer wheelbase version is Rs 3 - 3.5 lakhs more expensive than this model.  When you start driving for the first time - you feel a little nervous you start to understand that it is like a very big SUV the clutch is very light and the vision outside is excellent And while the gearbox is conveniently placed it sometimes causes a problem shifting in first and second If Force would have given an automatic transmission with the Urbania - it would have been very easy to drive for private buyers  The 2.6-litre diesel engine here is derived from a Mercedes-Benz engine Now the engine that was derived from is very old and that can be felt The refinement is not very good and the engine is also fairly audible The 350Nm torque means that even if you stay one gear up You don't have to shift much in the city and commutes can easily be done in 2nd the floorboard for  the driver is of a very good size There is no dead pedal here but the seat is mounted tall you can easily keep your feet on the ground It can return 11 to 14kmpl and when you are driving it in the city depending on how much load you are driving with.  While you don't get the smooth ride that you get in SUVs or MPVs Even on bad roads when you go a little slowly the van doesn't move much and keeps the occupants at ease And while in the front of the cabin you can hear the engine You can't take it to the mall because the height is a problem for mall entrances it doesn't fit in the parking spots of regular cars So you have to park it outside the mall or the restaurant The good thing is that it has a high-mounted reverse parking camera which makes things easier.  When it comes to handling - the Urbania behaves just like a big SUV Body roll remains in control and changing lanes on the highway feels natural Even taking a high-speed turn won’t make you nervous The Force Urbania is indeed a very capable van its very big which makes it very difficult to find parking anywhere then you will have to buy its medium wheelbase version where you can easily install a luggage rack at the back then it would have been even easier to drive.  the other aspects of the Urbania are quite impressive The most surprising thing is that it is a very big monocoque structure which makes its driving dynamics and comfort feel like a large SUV If you were looking for a van to make into a camper - then it is very difficult to get a better choice than this your whole family will comfortably go in the Urbania together laughing then the Force Urbania is exactly what you need If your family has outgrown MPVs and you need a bigger alternative - the Force Urbania might be exactly what you need The Force Urbania is available only in the Diesel fuel option The mileage of the Force Urbania is 11 kmpl Force Urbania is available in the following colours in India View all

The continued annual broadcast of the results helps keep the tradition alive the onion weather predictions (il barometro delle cipolle) remain a part of the local lexicon 'The onions have predicted rain!' or 'The onions have predicted such and such'," said Damiani the accuracy of the predictions isn't what's important; what matters is that it continues "We all know that it is not a scientific method there are meteorologists and satellites and everything that today's modern world gives us It is only a tradition… just a way to keep yourself a little anchored to the past in an emotional way."  Elisa Luzi is an anthropologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany but hails from a town close to Urbania and she has been known locally as "the onion girl" ever since writing her bachelor's thesis at the University of Bologna on the topic of the Urbania onions in 2007 as well as local farmers who relied on the predictions The day that the journal would print the predictions we'd have to buy the paper and read what happened He was still attached to this kind of old tradition – following the Moon to know when you have to work the field Chop a medium onion into quarters and place 12 of the largest pieces on a wooden chopping board in two parallel rows non-iodised salt on each slice and leave the board on a windowsill facing east with the window open bring your board inside and analyse your onions straight away The top of each slice represents the first 10 days of each month the middle the second 10 days and the bottom the third portion Undissolved salt means dry and sunny; melted salt means rain possibly snow for a winter month; slices hardened with salt crystals mean frost and/or snow; bubbles mean humidity The timing of the ritual is rooted in Catholicism which is intrinsically tied to Italian culture "Traditionally in the Catholic Church the day of [January] 25th is the day of the Conversion of St Paul you do it [the ritual] the night before because it's the night before that's important," Luzi said Paul received clear signs to become a Christian This same night was chosen as the best time to read the onions as it was believed to hold some kind of magic "They thought 'he was given signs so he'll give signs to me'," said Luzi While the tradition has Catholicism in its DNA the Catholic church does not officially support the practice "They do not condone this kind of stuff Onion-reading may no longer serve as practical a role as it once did but Urbania's residents are still keen to preserve it "It's kind of a point of pride… [it's] part of what we are a little piece of our identity that we bring from the past you need to remember that you're a part of history When Forlini is finished with her readings she types them up and sends them to the media for publication the onions predicted a long and cold winter; a spring that starts and finishes with rain interrupted by a mild and beautiful May in between; a sweltering summer; a mild early autumn that lasts until the end of October; and an earlier-than-usual start to a cold winter "I certainly don't throw them away!" she said I'll make onion soup for the evening."

TREP is already active in Germany’s student-housing market through its Campus Living platform said: “We have been studying the student-housing market in continental Europe for many years and we are pleased to partner with Urbania to build an institutional portfolio of scale that provides students across Spain with affordable “Despite the growing number of domestic and international students Spain remains one of the most undersupplied European markets in terms of purpose-built student accommodation.” said: “We are delighted to be partnering with TREP in a joint mission to raise the quality of purpose-built student accommodation assets across the Iberia market “TREP’s deep investment expertise complements our local market experience and capabilities which span development to operations. We rapidly established ourselves as a first mover in this market and have a proven ability to deliver best-in-class student hospitality.” Harrison Street to develop Pamplona property

Spanish universities and a large and growing student population yet it lacks high-quality student-housing options Spain is a top-10 global student destination and we are excited to deepen our presence in this attractive market as well as expand our partnership with TEC an experienced local developer with a strong track record to deliver modern and needed living options for Pamplona’s students.”

covers everything from the growth of democracy to the threat of terrorism with a fresh Many LGBT-owned businesses are lobbying the city to do more to ensure that companies from their community have equal access hundreds of millions of dollars in city contracts CEO of ChatterBlast marketing located in Philadelphia's Gayborhood who leads the Center City digital marketing firm ChatterBlast understands why Philadelphia has long devoted a share of public contracts to companies owned by minorities: It helps close the opportunity gap for groups that haven’t historically had a fair shot at city work said it is about time the city make room in that category for businesses operated by lesbian “We don’t expect this to be a system that is requiring X-amount of dollars to be spent with the LGBT community,” Urbania said “We just really want to be next to the other minority and business services — those owned by women African-Americans and the disabled,” he said “We want to be in that same class and category.” A growing number of LGBT-owned businesses in Philadelphia are lobbying the city to do more to ensure that companies from their community have equal access to some of the hundreds of millions of dollars in city contracts awarded every year for everything from general construction to technology services to be given an edge in the bidding process Philadelphia officials say they are still studying the issue contracts have gone to those who have the most access to the people who make the decisions,” said Philly-based Jonathan Lovitz senior vice president of the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce “And all we’re trying to do is make sure those great LGBT enterprises in Philadelphia have a seat at the table to say in light of some Trump administration proposals that throw LGBT protections into peril going the opposite way on the local level carries heightened urgency According to the Department of Commerce, about 30 percent of the $991 million in contracts the city awarded in 2016 went to businesses owned by minorities City officials hope the percentage will reach 35 percent or higher in coming years but advocates of expanding the set-aside category to include LGBT enterprises said they are hearing concerns that such a move would take business away from the rest of the group “I’ve heard that sentiment expressed by both members of the African-American business community and from members of city government,” said Marc Coleman who is black and gay and the president of the Tactile Group He said when minority business owners are given city work “Other diverse communities may think that this is going to take something away from the pie but LGBT business owners are twice to three times more likely to utilize other minorities in their subcontracting,” he said Leaders at a half-dozen companies that were awarded city contracts last year as part of the city’s diverse supplier program did not return requests for comment about whether adding LGBT companies to the group would create fears of less work to go around who runs the Mayor’s Office of LGBT Affairs said she has not heard this worry from any businesses owned by the groups now in the diverse category She said the city is committed to growing opportunities for the gay and lesbian business community although formally expanding the city’s diverse business category would require launching a study to demonstrate that LGBT companies are being left out In fact, city law stipulates that a “disparity study” be completed before a new class is added to the diversity category “If you can’t prove that there’s a disadvantage then it wouldn’t make sense to provide extra benefits,” Hikes said who heads the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce having to commission a study to illustrate that there is LGBT discrimination is preposterous “The sheer need of talking about a need for a disparity study shows there’s disparity,” Nelson said Several business owners interviewed said being open about their sexual orientation has resulted in unambiguous bias “People found out that I had a husband and decided not to work with us,” said Coleman of the Tactile Group “There are actual real stigmas and barriers.” is that forcing businesses to self-identify as disadvantaged “further stigmatizes them.” “We’re trying to get the city to move away from this old-school model,” he said simplifying the process of how companies bid on public projects and giving contractors incentives to hire more LGBT subcontractors Wolf has not added LGBT-owned businesses to the state’s diverse supplier category – that requires a two-year study Backers of more LGBT access to city work say if Philadelphia officials just mirror the preliminary actions of Wolf that would be a victory — at least for now Hikes agreed with advocates that it’s inexcusable that the city does not track the number of LGBT businesses in Philadelphia And even if adding LGBT businesses among the ranks of other diverse groups favored for city work may be a far-off prospect figuring out a way to assess the community’s economic impact is a shorter-term goal in terms of the city checking off boxes and giving me a list of what the LGBT business are in the city We know that’s not the case,” Hikes said “We need to know who these businesses are,” she said “What kind of business are they bringing into the city The National LGBT Chamber of Commerce has certified 50 businesses in Philadelphia as LGBT business enterprises or as being at least 51 percent owned by an LGBT person said if LGBT companies believe a core part of their character is invisible in a business proposal some could feel muzzled and walk away from opportunities “Nobody leaves their identity at home,” Nelson said “And if you ask someone else to leave their particular identity at home “A lot of times that keeps people from even wanting to trying to compete.” WHYY is your source for fact-based, in-depth journalism and information.

Then, a process developed by study co-author Ashish Patel, MD a thoracic surgeon at The Permanente Medical Group automates referral of patients with a category 5 result to a daily triage physician typically a pulmonologist or thoracic surgeon Complicated cases are discussed at weekly multidisciplinary conferences The team takes over the patient’s care or makes recommendations to the patient’s primary care physician The new system builds on previous work at Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center to standardize tagging of CT reports by pulmonary findings The study did not find that the new system reduced the time from diagnosis to surgery “Once you streamline one part of the system you need to look at other parts of the system downstream,” said Urbania Future studies will look at whether the new system improves lung cancer survival rates The researchers’ expectation is that it will “It’s reasonable to assume that if more people are diagnosed earlier more people will survive longer,” Urbania said The project is supported by The Permanente Medical Group Delivery Science and Applied Research (DARE) Initiative Coauthors include Jennifer Dusendang, MPH, Stacey Alexeeff, PhD, and Douglas A.

marketing approach Social was never designed to be a silver bullet but it is now part of the communications mix and can’t be ignored What is happening is that social is becoming more integrated and people are learning that it is really more of a manifestation of your company brand REITs that own malls or shopping centers are definitely starting to look at the customer experience and are finding new ways to integrate social media experiential marketing and creative campaigns into the mix buying patterns continue to move online and the only way to gain more customers is to meet them where the physical and digital experiences intersect entertainment and the ability to share all that with their world The best way to attract consumers to brick-and-mortar locations is through incredible moments that they can share on their social accounts I always view social as having the potential for a large variety of objectives but you can only use it successfully for a few of these goals at a time Some organizations are using social for community outreach philanthropic efforts and customer service growth and attention for the things you are already doing as a company Social can be aimed at employee retention or recruitment A content marketing plan and a strong Facebook strategy can be a great place to showcase your talent and reveal your company culture for the next generation of team members Our interns often remind us that they do in fact judge a company by their social media and by how well a company’s website shows up on their phone leasing and all other integrated marketing efforts to drive business growth If large regulated financial institutions and CEOs of health care organizations like Aetna can be on social media REITs need to decide if they want to use social as a disclosure mechanism to their investors there is a simple set of procedures to ensure that social is used correctly and the wrong information is not released (SEC Regulation FD) The choice should be based on the investor relations process and internal resources of the REIT we are not seeing a ton of value to using social for investor communications in this sector whether using social for investor

Made with love by funeralOne Harlem-born Kimberly Becoat is a Brooklyn resident and mixed media artist whose work explores issues of societal constructs and malaises with an unsparing she makes us aware of what’s happening within our communities and the forces at work to deny us agency currently on view at The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts in Brooklyn Becoat draws on her own experiences and brings viewers into some of the social aspects of dwelling in public housing projects colors and ways residents choose to interact highlighting the frequently forgotten aspects of Black lives in New York City in the 16 original pieces of her new body of work.  Here we speak with Becoat about her latest project and all-seeing eye Aside from the gorgeous visual pleasure of looking at Urbania political implications at play that you can share with us?  KIMBERLY BECOAT: What’s happening in Urbania land is a conversation about urban landscapes how they’re developed what they were designed to do (or separate a people from doing) for the people that inhabit them and more importantly how the people within them chose to cultivate their own narrative It’s also a resurrection of information that is lost to many who are not natives to New York City and never pay attention to these areas – and last a resurrection and revitalization on the beauty of the projects in other states BECOAT: Working in mixed mediums allows me to move through the narrative or overall concept behind a body [or series] of work more fluidly than attempting to express it with just painting or collaging or whatever It’s me making an active choice to go where the work wants to go and then marry it with my signature touches what is the range of your canvases?   BECOAT: My work can go from 10 feet or more to as small as 5 inches These newer works in the Urbania series fall somewhere in the middle area – around 5 feet to smaller works 24 inches BECOAT: All the works in the Urbania series are on paper I know it looks like canvas that I am constructing on but is indeed a conscious choice to craft this particular series on paper It gives the work a tapestry vibe that I’ve fallen in love with I work more on paper than canvas these days Describe for us your artistic developments over the last decade or more.  BECOAT: I’ve been refining a lot of techniques into little systems that allow me to move the ideas more fluidly I use sand mixed with acrylic in a lot of my work and fabrics with multiple dyes in others – and I’ve developed lovely ways to keep those mixes together on a piece to last as well as get look I want even your low moments during these artistic developments Low lights are always more important when developing in a new material and turning it into beautiful highlights – so I would say artistically just paying deeper attention to the mistakes – for example when the paper rips on an overlay of multiple materials I’ve mixed together on the work My thoughts do not immediately run to destroying the entire work I’m more apt to leave it and come back to it and figure out what these materials are asking me to see in order to put them together cohesively to tell the story I want in the work I have to say after looking at a lot of work from this series I’ve done a damn good job making those adjustments into a lovely highlight reel of works Do you think that you’ve by now reached mastery of your practice or is it an ever-ongoing process?                                        ” You know what you know – you know what you don’t know – But you don’t know what you don’t know” (laughing) I know that I’ve mastered a great deal I know what I’ve yet to master (but I’m getting there) – but there’s an outlier of information in an art practice of mediums that I’ve seen and I say “wow – I didn’t even know I didn’t know that or that was possible” – yes and no… always ongoing Seriously- I know that’s a generic answer- but the truth of the matter is I could be watching a TV show or hear some tidbit of a conversation traveling and it will spark me down a rabbit hole I love playing investigator – I love researching deeper after I learn/hear stuff Intertwine it with my lifelong insistence to always speak from a Black American framework well there you go!  There’s so much there to work from – because so much of the Black [and Brown] American experience – just in enjoy living separate from fighting and rallying for our rights has not been explored or told What are your favorite art periods and why – My favorites right now would be the Black Arts Movement of the 70s and the 80s early 90s – that was such a broad range of work from everyone on both coasts You still had master Black artists working and producing and creating spaces to show The Black women artists that came from those decades Who are some of your favorite artists and why?                                                      BECOAT: Howardena Pindell/Betye Saar/Mark Bradford/Jack Whitten on range of use materials alone the kings and queens of assemblage – I learn something new to try every time I look at their work Stanley Whitley – as a painter for me – their mastery of color is chef’s kiss – I referred to them a lot doing my Urbania works creating my own color codes from hood/bodega store staples And Alma Thomas – she was an art educator and artist – that is not easy to do because you pour so much into the youth to be able to do the work she created at a high level of production and aesthetic is incredible – as an artist that also teaches youth for those not previously familiar with your work is this a continuation or departure from your previous works.           BECOAT: I work on several bodies of work simultaneously-  so when I was working or beginning  the concept for Urbania way back 10 years ago with earlier pieces I was also working on pieces about the modern day hottentots and laying out the work for Seneca Village which actually was the catalyst (both series) for Urbania – a person might think I’ve departed from a particular style but no mixing other materials are all in works whether I decide to make it abstract or gesture to a figure – in my head it’s all the a continuation BECOAT: Urbania has several parts to it – this mid part that this solo exhibition speaks to is opening up a passageway into an area (or areas) of New York City where NYCHA housing is constructed and also more out of NYC- the areas in other states affectionately called the Projects I’m speaking to those social dynamics/rituals and cultures of those that have grown up in those dwellings – as they have seemingly been abandoned either in a physical way or economics throughout the years This mid part is lighter in tone and subject matter as I’m incorporating hood games like Skelly double Dutch or hood colors I call them from candies we ate like Lemonheads And then addressing areas where we were seemingly invited but felt restrictive in some ways to be there – so I touch upon reclaiming sanctuary and making peace with those spaces outside the hood – like Central Park where the pool resided This portion and Blackness or Brown skin thriving a placing is center stage in that joy What are the major takeaways that you hope that viewers would get from this new body of work?  BECOAT: Overall be active in knowing the people where you reside – one of the biggest resentments against expats in any environment is this unnatural desire to “takeover.” There’s freedom in community – in understanding what was there before you and with you – be a part of the experience not segregated from it That there’s sanctuary in having a place that even in your mind you can call back to and move forward in no matter you are – never forget your cultural codes – bask in the colors as those are everyday aesthetics that keep you grounded even outside the hood – we are always asked to put them aside – but don’t swim and roller-skate – and that’s all a revolutionary act too So make sure one does them as often as possible And that the work invigorates and opens up dialog about all these things for you URBANIA is

Urbania is marketing to young urban professionals who cannot afford the prices of downtown Montreal "Two-hundred-thousand dollars will get you a one-bedroom with an interior parking garage," he said "If you compare costs with the downtown core you will spend $450 to $550 per square foot there; here in Laval it’s $150 cheaper per square foot." Being shrewd about costs starts with the architect He used Montreal’s Giasson Farragut for Urbania 1 and will continue the collaboration with phase 2 "Giasson Farragut has been involved since the beginning They are very sensitive to bringing architecture to market It means that design must be done according to budget When we establish a price point we have to design a building so the market can absorb it I have seen projects where it is a monument to the architect."
