FIRE - POPUP EXHIBITION UNDERGROUND BDW

For the popup exhibition "UNDERGROUND BDW," we posed a thought-provoking question to our friends: if their house were on fire and they had just one minute to grab important items, what would they choose to save? This question invites deep reflection on personal values and priorities, revealing the items that hold the most significance—whether it's cherished family heirlooms, vital documents, or essential electronics.

Life on Wheels at Rochester Street Films- a film screening and panel discussion about how we can build a more multi-modal future.
Jun

6:30 PM18:30

Life on Wheels at Rochester Street Films- a film screening and panel discussion about how we can build a more multi-modal future.

  • Rochester Street Films - the little theatre 1 (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

THE PROGRAM:

A look back in history shows us that Rochesterians once enjoyed a world-class subway and trolley system and our city was a bastion for biking in the U.S. But like most American cities, during the era of highway construction in the latter part of the 20th century, Rochester succumbed to a car-centric culture and built its existence around the automobile.

We will use “Life on Wheels” as a springboard to reflect on how we might transform our city once again to a place where people and vibrancy are prioritized over speeding vehicles, and where seas of asphalt are replaced with shared roadways and green space.

Following the film, there will be live discussion with local leaders moderated by David Streever, Digital Content Manager at WXXI. As a recent transplant to Rochester, David will bring a fresh perspective to the conversation.

Over the course of the evening, we will:

*Talk about the individual and societal benefits we’ll see if we can inspire more people to get around by bus, by rail, on bike, and on foot.

*Learn about the City and County’s plans to make policy shifts and invest in transit, biking and walking, and the steps RTS is taking to improve our public transit system.

*Hear from NYS State Senators Samra Brouk & Jeremy Cooney about how state level funding and policies can help drive change.

*Consider how we might use the energy of the local climate movement to lessen car dependency and carbon emissions.

THE PANELISTS:

Ana Liss, Director of Planning & Development, Monroe County
Abby McHugh-Grifa, Executive Director, Climate Solutions Accelerator
Rich Perrin, Commissioner of Dept of Env Services, City of Rochester
Miguel Velazquez, Deputy CEO, Rochester-Genesee Regional Transportation Authority

"Life on Wheels" Virtual Screening & Conversation

"Life on Wheels" Virtual Screening & Conversation

Online Event by Metropolitan Planning Council
6:30 to 8:30 p.m. CST
VIEW RECORDED CONVERSATION HERE

Join MPC for our first virtual documentary screening of Life on Wheels from the safety and comfort of home. Grab your favorite drink, relax and enjoy this interactive experience with us. 

Life on Wheels tells the compelling story of a culture on the verge of a revolution that will transform our economy, our environment, and the rhythms of our everyday lives. In this documentary, a collection of mobility mavens, technologists, and visionaries takes viewers on a journey through the highways, back alleys, and futurescapes of transportation – how we get from here to there. Life on Wheels addresses the promises, dangers, and absurdities of our current auto-centric transportation system and explores new possibilities and stories of change. The subject of mobility has vast implications. It touches our core values of freedom, health, safety, and happiness. It hits our pocketbooks and impacts how we spend our time and energy. It literally shapes our landscapes, cities, and social conditions. The path we choose will have profound implications for us and for future generations.

This film brings together disparate voices to paint pictures of potential futures based on new social movements and lifestyle trends, emerging technologies, and new business models. We depict an entire industry and infrastructure on the brink of fundamental change. As businesses, citizens, and policymakers make decisions that will shape our movements for the decades to come, the voices in this film offer vital new perspectives. It’s an urgent conversation with complex consequences.
