Dumbarton Oaks Garden and Landscape Studies Symposium: Sound and Scent in the Garden
landscape storytelling by Chip Sullivan (Cartooning the Landscape) as well as several innovative drawing, photographic, video and poetic creative works. Unfortunately, the exhibit venue was at Morgan State, which was diffi cult to access from the conference's Inner Harbor venue outside of the limited time off ered during the opening reception activities. It would have been nice to have the opportunity to spend more time with the artwork. The most exciting aspect of this CELA Conference development is that it off ered new ways for faculty to gain peer reviewed recognition for work vitally important to the development of landscape architecture education and practice. As such, it peaked a great deal of interest by providing a formal venue to present alternate landscape architectural inquiry. A planned juried fi lm festival at the CELA 2015 conference, Incite Change Change Insight (March 24 28) at Kansas State University, will continue the provision of alternative means for exploring the expression and interpretation of landscape architectural ideas in a peer reviewed format. The CELA 2014 Conference, Layers: Landscape, City, Community, hosted by Morgan State University and the University of Maryland, was a well conceived and organized event. In particular, the excellent diversity of speakers discussing issues of culture and race was both challenging and welcome, and engaged topics not normally attempted within the CELA venue.
