You are invited to come to "Envisioning Green Cityscapes" at the Jane Addams Hull-House, which includes performance, poetry, music, film, and visual art.

Program:

Carey Lundin talks about Jens Jensen The Living Green -- being inspired to turn Jensen's life into a plan of social action. A clip from the film is screened.
Corey Hagelberg shows examples of his artworks -- including prints that respond to the oil industry's presence in northwestern Indiana, which is also one of the most biologically diverse regions of the country. He also talks about how his art making practice relates to his connections with nature in an urban setting (Gary, IN).
"An Evening at the Ecopolis: Rethinking Chicago as a Regenerative City" with Jeff Biggers and musical ensemble -- Angel Elmore (clarinet, keyboard), Adam Zanolini (flute, saxophone, electric bass), Tim Bonbonfera Keenan (percussion) and Dan Godston (cornet).
A presentation about AREA Chicago’s Issue #15 is given. That issue’s theme is “Healing,” including topics such as interspecies perspectives; the health of soil and water; microbial communities; ecology and climate catastrophe; energy descent; … and many others.
A collaboratively written mesostic poem with the through-line "Urbs in Horto" is created while the program progresses. ("Urbs in horto," a Latin phrase that means "City in a garden," is Chicago's motto.)
