See the first documentary on the pioneering landscape architect whose vision helped shape the Oxy campus.
Documentary filmmaker Karyl Evans presents her new film about landscape architect Beatrix Farrand (1872-1959), who overcame the challenges of a male-dominated profession to landscape more than 200 projects during her pioneering career, including the Occidental campus. A presentation by historian Ann Scheid on her research into Farrand’s Southern California landscapes and a Q&A with the filmmaker will follow.
Free and open to the public. Brought to you by the Office of the President, Department of Art & Art History, Institute for the Study of Los Angeles, the California Garden & Landscape History Society, and Robert Winter, Emeritus Professor Arthur G. Coons Professor of the History of Ideas.
