The Community of the Future and What it Means to You

Ed Marszewski will speak about his journey to Bridgeport, “the Community of the Future.” This overview of projects, publications, and other concerns that have informed his practice as an artist/developer, beer nerd, and socially engaged artivist will be shared via a projected slideshow with commentary. Students, prepare to be recruited!

Ed Marszewski is the Co-Director of the Public Media Institute, a nonprofit corporation that programs the space, the Co-Prosperity Sphere; produces the annual Version Festival; and publishes Lumpen magazine, Proximity magazine, Mash Tun Journal, and other titles. He is also co-owner of Maria's Packaged Goods & Community Bar and is the President of Marz Community Brewing Co. He also makes work from time to time that focuses on housing rights issues and gentrification.

All are invited to these hour-long presentations and discussions.
