Placemaking in the Park: How Culture Impacts Legacy
This is a FREE event; grab a ticket so we know to expect you.
In this experience (with a block party vibe and BBQ!) participants will explore the tangled web of culture that gives a place its character, from its art to its food to its infrastructure. In a mix of conversations from metropolitan planning experts and performances from local artists (including some firefighters doing hip-hop), we’ll unearth the ways that urban planners and community stakeholders work alongside neighborhood residents build on the entirety of a place’s ecology as they develop its future.
Who you'll hear from: Blaise B, Firehouse Community Arts Center, New Covenant Community Development Corporation, North Lawndale Community Coordinating Council, North Lawndale Restorative Justice Community Court, and UCAN.
