Next Thursday, the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts will host its second panel for Transformation, a set of programs it designed alongside the exhibition Urban Alchemy/Gordon Matta-Clark. For “Redefining Neighborhoods,” Alderman Antonio French of the 21st Ward will moderate a party of local visionaries. Here are their bios, and below is footage from my visit last week with panelist Joe Edwards in, fittingly, the Saint Louis Room at Blueberry Hill.

As with the rest of the panel series, “Redefining Neighborhoods” will relate the urban landscape and creative intervention, but the plan is to not only talk conceptually but to target real ways Saint Louis can use art or design for revitalization, while tailoring such approaches to each neighborhood’s identity. Everyone is welcome to this event, so get your questions, comments and open/critical minds ready, and head to the Pulitzer with some friends next Thursday.

If for some unlucky reason you can’t make it, you can find audio and video from it on the Transformation site the following week. Check out the digital from last month’s panel here.

Joe Edwards describes the evolution of the Delmar Loop and his hopes for future projects:
