Lecture examines the ruins of America in our time
Aug. 27
Lecture: Abandoned America
Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation will present the lecture “Abandoned America” 6-7:30 p.m. Aug. 27 at the Landmarks Preservation Resource Center, Wilkinsburg.
The desire to gain a greater understanding of our past has driven archaeologists, artists and scholars from across the world to study the vestiges of lifestyles and places that vanished. Through his collection of writing and photography, Matthew Christopher has spent the last decade documenting some of the ruins of America in our time. His work spans architectural treasures left to the elements and then all too often lost forever. The lecture is free to PHLF members and $5 for non-members.
RSVPs are appreciated. Contact Mary Lu Denny at 412-471-5808 ext. 527 to register.
