ITC featured in Free Zoom Lecture May 7th
Don’t miss “Representing the Confluence of Civilizations in the Americas at the HemisFair ‘68 Texas Pavilion” on Wed, May 7th, at 1:00 PM CST. This free Zoom event is sponsored by the Institute for the Study of International Exhibitions.
Speaker Sarah Gould will explore the rich, multiethnic community displaced by HemisFair ’68, the pioneering contributions of architect William M. Peña, the significance of Mesoamerican influences in the Pavilion’s design, and the building’s current status as a surviving landmark of a transformative moment in San Antonio’s history.
Many thanks to our friends at ISIE and to Dr. Gould for spotlighting the significance of this irreplaceable landmark under siege. The Conservation Society's lawsuit to stop demolition is now at the 15th Court of Appeals in Austin, TX, pending a hearing.
