More or Less in Common: Environment and Justice in the Human Landscape<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is the latest exhibition at the Boston Public Library\u2019s Leventhal Map and Education Center.<\/p>\n

In More or Less in Common: Environment and Justice in the Human Landscape<\/em>,<\/a> we take a look at how questions of social justice and injustice are essential topics to confront when trying to understand the human landscape. These questions must also be at the center of our attention as we challenge ourselves to build better, healthier environments in the future. Through maps as well as photographs, images, and data visualizations, this exhibition encourages you to confront stories about how environmental conditions have sometimes served to worsen inequalities along lines of social division. At the same time, our shared environment offers the possibility to bring people together across differences and the inspiration to forge new kinds of common action.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a hybrid physical\/digital exhibition that can be visited in person or viewed online. It opened on March 18 and runs until December 28. See the Boston Globe<\/em>\u2019s coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
