This three-day interdisciplinary conference aims to expand our understanding of the urban experience in Latin America by re-centering the lives of marginalized human and more-than-human actors, exploring cities in relation to the wider territories and ecologies they depend on, and fostering conversations about non-conventional narratives, media, and methods. It will revisit urban life in Latin America from 1400 to the present, bridging the gap between pre-Hispanic, colonial, and modern cities—a long period some have termed the Anthropocene to describe the “colonial and industrial remakings of the earth [that] have created the dangerous environmental conditions that confront us today” (Feral Atlas).

Urban Entanglements brings together historians, architects, urbanists, literary scholars, art historians, sociologists, and environmental scholars, among others, to share innovative ways of conceiving and narrating cities and urban life, and to discuss the challenges of forging other possible futures for life on our warming planet.
