Hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable long weekend. We ran out of time to finish watching the documentary films My Brooklyn (Feb. 6), and Human Scale (Feb. 13) together, but you can finish watching at home or wherever you like for free on Kanopy by logging in with your City Tech library barcode # on your college ID card; it’s the 14 digit number that starts with 22477.
Citizen Jane is available to stream on Hulu and Amazon (not free unless you already have a personal subscription).

A reminder about the blog post due before this Thursday’s class:

Please start a new blog post and write at least 150 words of reflection using the prompt below. Choose the category Reflections for it. Also, please comment on at least one other student’s reflection.

Prompt:

Describe the way each film (My Brooklyn, Citizen Jane, Human Scale) and the lecture presentation (Healing Spaces: Marching On! Blackness and the Spatial Politics of Performance) discuss public space and its role in cities. Which notion of public space appeals to you? How to you feel about public space in New York City?
