Members of the campus community are invited to attend a talk with landscape architect
Walter Hood on Wednesday, January 18, 2023 at 10:30-11:30 a.m. on the 4th floor of
UNCSA Library.
Currently, Hood is working with Winston-Salem’s Creative Corridors Coalition on the
design for the Peter Oliver Pavilion Gallery on Liberty Street. He will be talking
about that project and his larger body of work lifting up Black stories in the American
landscape, with UNCSA students in two Division of Liberal Arts classes, “Winston-Salem
Stories” and “The Meanings of Museums.”
A native of North Carolina, Walter Hood is the creative director and founder of Hood Design Studio in Oakland, Calif. He
is also a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and lectures on professional
and theoretical projects nationally and internationally. In 2020, he published the
edited collection Black Landscapes Matter. He is a recipient of the 2017 Academy of
Arts and Letters Architecture Award, 2019 Knight Public Spaces Fellowship, 2019 MacArthur
Fellowship, 2019 Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize, and the 2021 recipient of the Architectural
League’s President’s Medal award.
