The Black Butterfly Dream Lab: A Three-Part Learning Series

In the Black Butterfly Dream Lab at Third Space, Dr. Lawrence Brown will facilitate a range of interactive and hands-on learning experiences. Participants will learn about the history of Baltimore’s urban policies through play-based activities including the educational board game Urban Cipher and a LEGO activity. Other activities involve moving through a history exhibit, examining Baltimore neighborhoods using large maps, using game cash to allocate dollars in the city’s budget, and viewing archival evidence regarding the spread of spatially-racially discriminatory maps by the federal government. The sessions will conclude with a generative focus on how city residents can build thriving neighborhoods for future generations.
