Launching Sunset Over Sunset: Seeing Urban History through the Lens of Ed Ruscha

  • Weitzman School of Design (map)

Join us for the launch of Sunset Over Sunset, a new digital urban humanities project developed by Francesca Russello Ammon, Brian Goldstein, and Garrett Dash Nelson. This project uses street-view photographs of Los Angeles’s iconic Sunset Boulevard to uncover stories of everyday change in the postwar built environment.

On March 11, Penn presents a virtual launch event featuring several of the scholars behind the project, including the project co-directors; Rob Nelson, director of the Digital Scholarship Lab at the University of Richmond, and the project’s lead web designer and developer, and historian Mark Padoongpatt, associate professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and author of one of the featured stories.
