Call for Nominations for Landslide 2021: Race and Space
Register/Submit Deadline: Tuesday, Jun 15, 2021

"Landslide® 2021: Race and Space, a report and online exhibition, will focus on cultural landscapes associated with African Americans and others that are threatened and at-risk. [...] This follows the announcement late in 2020 that 'Race and Space' would be the unifying theme for The Cultural Landscape Foundation’s (TCLF) programmatic agenda beginning in 2021. As an education and advocacy organization, we will make visible, instill value and engage the public in these myriad cultural landscapes that collectively convey who we are, where we came from, and where we are going as a nation. TCLF is committing to a comprehensive, ongoing effort across all of our programming and advocacy initiatives to reveal the stories of these largely unrecognized cultural landscapes and lifeways. One of TCLF's principal education and advocacy initiative is Landslide and the annual thematic Landslide report about cultural landscapes that are threatened and at-risk. The goal is to draw immediate and lasting attention to threatened sites by making them more visible, revealing their value, and promoting public engagement in the form of advocacy and stewardship."
