Monique Bassey, College of Architecture Hyde Chair of Excellence, will be joined by José de Jesús Leal Loera, director of the MIG Native Nation Building Studio, and its co-founder, Paul Fragua, to deliver the next Hyde Lecture, “Land as a Relation: Bridging Practice and Education to Support Indigenous Connections, Truth, and Healing.” The lecture will take place at 4 p.m. on March 3 in Architecture Hall West, Room 127. Bassey, Leal Loera and Fragua have co-taught studios with architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture students, exploring how design fosters cultural literacy and community engagement. The lecturers will explain how the design studio reflects their commitment to advocacy and community-centered design. The session emphasizes the essential ties between land and subsistence lifeways, highlighting the importance of restoring, protecting and reclaiming Indigenous culture, language, knowledge and ceremonies. Through collaboration and critical partnerships, it will explore how truth, healing and revitalization can be prioritized for both land and people. Drawing on the role of Indigenous leadership and university-community partnerships, the session demonstrates how culturally significant and ethically grounded designs honor Indigenous values. At the end, presenters would like to provide space for discussion to consider how these practices can foster healing and sustainable relationships with the land and inspire one another to take meaningful action. This lecture is a must-attend event for design and planning students. Join us!
