Dayton, Ohio, stands at the cusp of a groundbreaking transformation. As we navigate the remnants of industrial legacies, a new vision for our community emerges—a vision of Adaptive Reuse. This year’s theme, “Adaptive Reuse,” is more than a concept—it’s a call to action for Black communities and allies across the Midwest. Together, we’ll delve into strategies for reimagining the spaces around us, transforming neglected landscapes into thriving hubs of culture, sustainability, and innovation. Join us for an inspiring two-day journey at the Black Midwest Symposium, where we’ll explore the vibrant intersection of history, art, and community resilience. We can’t wait to see you in Dayton!
