Borderbend is delighted to be participating in The People's Promenade: A Walk with Light! Borderbend is working with local artists and community members to create hats, headbands, armbands and banners that glow in the dark, and which will be part of A Walk with Light.

The People's Promenade: A Walk with Light
Sunday, December 20th (4:30-6:30 p.m.)
The 606
Chicago, IL

You're invited to join us as we participate in A Walk with Light, presented by The 606 and other organizations. We will meet at the West Trailhead Observatory (1801 N. Ridgeway Ave., behind the McCormick YMCA), at 4 p.m. on the 20th. Click here to view The 606's interactive map. Several dozen wearable objects will be distributed before The People's Promenade: A Walk with Light begins at 4:30 p.m.

Wearable Object-Making Workshop

Saturday, December 12th (noon-5 p.m.)
Mozart Park Fieldhouse
2036 N. Avers Ave.
Chicago, IL  60647

You're invited to join us during an arts workshop that happens at Mozart Park. During this workshop we'll be making illuminated hats, headbands, and other fun stuff that will be worn during A Walk with Light.

Contact us if you'd like to --
  • Help us make some illuminated, wearable objects;
  • Write haiku that could be painted in glow-in-the-dark paint onto hats that you can wear and keep;
  • Join us during the workshop that Borderbend is facilitating at Mozart Park (Saturday, December 12); and/or
  • Join us during The People's Promenade: A Walk with Light.
Haiku for The People's Promenade Hats
If you'd like your haiku to be painted onto a hat, think about these writing prompts:
  • Write a haiku about walking, running or biking in Chicago.
  • Write a haiku about an experience you've had on The 606.
  • Write a haiku about light in Chicago.
  • Other ideas...? Use your imagination!

Then send your haiku to Borderbend!
