Lunch & Learn: Animating Central Park
Lunch & Learn: Animating Central Park
On September 10th, author and professor Dawn Biehler will explore how different groups of humans and animals used Central Park to transform human-animal relationships in New York City during the nineteenth century. While park authorities tried to design Central Park’s animal landscapes to reflect elite Western European aesthetics and cultural values, regular New Yorkers demanded accessible animal exhibits—and even introduced animals themselves.
