the City: Methodologies of Hope \nProfessor Sarah Elwood (Department of Geography\, University of Washington) \nApril 11\, 2025\n2:30-3:30pm\nAGSL \nDigital Geographies & The City: Methodologies of Hope\nIn many places\, digitally-mediated urbanism is ubiquitous\, violent and unequal\, as technocapitalist development processes and the platformization of everyday life produce racialized removal\, surveillance\, impoverishment\, illegalization\, even premature death – structural harms for which critical social science research has a well-developed conceptual-epistemological apparatus. Here\, I make the case for an intentional turn toward methodologies of hope\, a re-orientation toward apprehending creative politics that advance sociospatial relations of emplacement\, collectivity\, accountability\, mutuality and thriving. I explore digital and emplaced tactics of mutual aid\, direct action\, and insurgent visual politics created by Stop the Sweeps\, a horizontal network of local collectivities fighting public eviction of tent encampments of unsheltered people in cities and towns across the US. \nHope is an animating force underlying these digital\, material and ideological pathways toward staying put and living well in the city\, yet ironically\, hope is largely absent from the theoretical-epistemological fabric of ‘critical’ social science research on digital cities. I argue for abundance-oriented analyses of the urban politics being forged by precarious communities and their allies\, showing how this shift opens a vital window onto complex networks of solidarity and mutual support that are generating profound challenges to the circuits of harm that define life in the digital city.

It was a celebration of victories\, resilience\, beauty and the rich history of Lindsay Heights as well is its active and committed residents and resident leaders. \nWe were honored that our Mayor Cavalier Johnson visited the exhibition and shared his thoughts and suggestions with the photovoice team. The opening ceremony was filled with city officials\, representatives from local environmental\, community and faith groups\, academic representatives\, Lindsay Heights residents and community members. \nThe Photovoice Exhibition Opening Ceremony\n\nDate & Venue: Monday\, April 8\, 2024\, Milwaukee City Hall Rotunda\nTime: 6 PM onwards\nSpecial Guest: Mayor Cavalier Johnson\nDistinguished guests:  \n\nAlderman Russel Stamper\, Alderman District 15\nAntonio Butts\, Executive Director\, Walnut Way Conservation Corp.\nMary Miss\, Founder\, City as Living Laboratory\, Milwaukee WaterMarks project\n\n\nEmcee: Pastor Teresa Thomas-Boyd warmly guided the evening’s program\nWelcome speech: Dulmini Jayawardana\, who spearheaded and facilitated this initiative as part of her community-engaged research and practice\nPhotovoice participants—the storytellers remarks\n\nMaria Beltran\, Ramona Curry\, Geneva Jones\, Christal West\, Jarvis West\n\n\n\n\nPastor Teresa Thomas-Boyd’s Opening Remarks\nPastor Teresa Thomas-Boyd\, one of the photovoice storytellers\, opened the event by acknowledging indigenous peoples as the traditional stewards of the land. Reflecting on Lindsay Heights’ history\, she highlighted the transformative efforts of Walnut Way Conservation Corp.\, which started about 20 years ago\, for their intentional commitment to making Lindsay Heights a great neighborhood in Milwaukee. Walnut Way’s strength\, she explained\, lies in involving resilient residents and empowering them as responsible caretakers of their environment. \n“And now in 2024\, as we invite you to see what we see\, we all have eyes and so we see things differently. But today\, you’re going to view from the environmental stewards that walk around our Lindsay Heights neighborhood every day.”\nShe also shared insights about Dulmini’s experiences\, emphasizing both the positive and challenging aspects: \n“Dulmini learned a lot about culture while she worked with Lindsay Heights residents. I’m only saying that because sometimes we want to say it was all good\, but some of it was rough\, and we need to be truthful about when we are going through that. We still come out with victory. And this is your victory. This is your victory\, Dulmini.”\nDulmini Jayawardana’s Welcome\nDulmini warmly welcomed distinguished guests and community members. She emphasized the collaborative journey: \n“The true heroes of this project are the photovoice storytellers. Thank you for your unwavering commitment throughout this project. Thank you for welcoming me to your neighborhood\, your community\, and entrusting me with your personal and communal experiences. Together we have embarked on a path of discovery and expression\, culminating in the vibrant collection of images and narratives you see tonight.”\nVoices from Our Leaders\nAlderman Russel Stamper expressed pride and gratitude: \nHe thanked the photovoice team for the vision this project brings to Lindsay Heights and instilling more belief in the neighborhood.“You guys are making Lindsay Heights a great neighborhood. We’re going to continue to grow. We’re continuing to develop\, continue make history in the city of Milwaukee.” \n\nHe specifically recognized Erick Shambarger\, Director of Environmental Sustainability at the City’s ECO\, commending his efforts to make Lindsay Heights Milwaukee’s first eco-neighborhood. \nReflections from Our Partners\nMary Miss (WaterMarks Project) was profoundly moved: \n\nShe said when she was conceptualizing WaterMarks\, she aimed to create a ripple effect and that this photovoice project beautifully embodies that vision. \n“I really could not believe my eyes. I had no idea the extent of this project. You are not just a photovoice; you’re the voice of this project.” \n\nAntonio Butts (Walnut Way Conservation Corps.) thanked the photovoice team for its hard work: \n“Everything that happens is coming from the hearts and minds of the people that you see here. There’s nothing manufactured about it. Believe me\, this couldn’t happen without you all. You are the heart of everything.”\nRemarks from Lindsay Heights Photovoice Team Members\nMaria Beltran\, Photovoice storyteller\nMaria passionately shared her personal journey: \n\n“I’m a homeowner in Lindsay Heights for over 32 years—I plan to live there another 32” She talked about lead contamination that has caused irreparable damage to the brains and bodies of her family and neighbors. Yet\, she remains hopeful for a day free from suffering. \nShe said that all photovoice team members worked hard and no matter what\, we worked as a family. She said\, “We yelled at each other. We cried with one another\, but it was all bittersweet moments to make this all possible.” \n\nRamona Curry\, Photovoice Storyteller\nRamona deeply expressed her desire for change and a cleaner future. She shared a poem showcasing how the photovoice team sees the toxic environments in Lindsay Heights: \n\n“It’s disheartening to see litter\, garbage\, boarded-up houses\, abandoned buildings\, neglect\, gun violence and too many alcohol stores”. \n“So\, imagine if you will\, you are a child\, and this is where you live. What would be their impression? Would there be hope or disparity? Awareness will bring them hope.” \n\nChristal West\, Photovoice Storyteller\nChristal spoke from the heart: \n\nShe chose Lindsay Heights for its diversity and beauty. She asked exhibition attendees to see beyond the trash; embrace the beauty of Lindsay Heights and that is photovoice is doing. \n“You will see a piece of our souls in these pictures. You all are encapsulated in this beautiful art. This is no longer just a strange place within the neighborhood. This is your neighborhood.” \n\nJarvis West\, Storyteller\nJarvis West invited everyone to actively participate to embrace what environmental stewards have done in Lindsay Heights: \n“We chose to participate in photovoice because we want you to see some of the beauty and unspoken words that we see when walking\, riding\, or relaxing here at home. I hope that this project will intrigue some of you to take a good look at what has been done here and what can be achieved by becoming an environmental steward. Come on this journey with us to cherish and reap the benefits of this breathing\, safe\, beautiful\, harmonious\, legacy piece called Lindsay Heights.”\nGeneva Jones\, Storyteller\nGeneva emphasized that Lindsay Heights is rich with resident activists including many of the photovoice participants\, who are actively pursuing the well-being of the community and the collaborative efforts behind photovoice: \n\nShe said this project was a grassroots effort that didn’t follow a predefined script but adapted to the situations we faced as a team. \n“We all completed the project without losing anyone as we believed that everyone brought something important to the table”. \nWe completed this project together\, valuing each member’s important contribution.” \n\nGratitude & Closing Remarks\nSpecial thanks to: \n\nMilwaukee City Hall & Mayor Cavalier Johnson\nAlderman Russel Stamper & Antonio Butts\, Walnut Way\nMary Miss (City as Living Laboratory\, WaterMarks)\nCity as Living Laboratory and WaterMarks \nMichael Timm for capturing the event\nAll Lindsay Heights Photovoice Storytellers and Residents\nFunders & Supporters who made this photovoice exhibition possible\n\nThis exhibition is more than just photos; it’s a vibrant call-to-action inviting all to engage deeply with the issues shaping Lindsay Heights. \n“Together\, we’ve created more than a project—We hope that we’ve sparked a movement.”\n— Dulmini Jayawardana \n  \nView the Opening Ceremony Program (PDF) \n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  URL:https://uwm.edu/geography/event/see-what-we-see-stories-of-environmental-stewardship-in-lindsay-heights/ LOCATION:WI X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210507 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210508 DTSTAMP:20260601T082309 CREATED:20210207T212017Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210207T212022Z UID:10000889-1620345600-1620431999@uwm.edu SUMMARY:Geography 600 Research Symposium DESCRIPTION:Geography 600 Research Symposium – All-day Event URL:https://uwm.edu/geography/event/geography-600-research-symposium/ LOCATION:WI CATEGORIES:Geography Colloquia X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210430T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210430T160000 DTSTAMP:20260601T082309 CREATED:20210207T210506Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210207T211911Z UID:10000879-1619794800-1619798400@uwm.edu SUMMARY:So Hyung Lim\, Ph.D student DESCRIPTION:So Hyung Lim\, Ph.D student\, Department of Geography\, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee\, “Illiberal and populist governance of diseases and disasters: The cases of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) outbreaks in South Korea.” URL:https://uwm.edu/geography/event/so-hyung-lim/ LOCATION:Microsoft Teams CATEGORIES:Geography Colloquia X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210423T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210423T160000 DTSTAMP:20260601T082309 CREATED:20210207T210506Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210207T212410Z UID:10000880-1619190000-1619193600@uwm.edu SUMMARY:Catherine Patricia Heady\, M.S. student and Trevor Iglinski\, M.S. student DESCRIPTION:Catherine Patricia Heady\, M.S. student\, Department of Geography\, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee\, TBD \nTrevor Iglinski\, M.S. student\, Department of Geography\, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee\, “Forest phenology using digital cameras” URL:https://uwm.edu/geography/event/catherine-patricia-heady-and-trevor-iglinski/ LOCATION:Microsoft Teams CATEGORIES:Geography Colloquia X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210416T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210416T160000 DTSTAMP:20260601T082309 CREATED:20210207T210506Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210207T211650Z UID:10000881-1618585200-1618588800@uwm.edu SUMMARY:Chunchen (Eden) Pan\, M.S.
