“Heal Our City” is a community arts event focusing on health and wellness in Chicago. It will feature poetry, photo narratives, oral histories, and documentary film from four South Side neighborhoods. Please join us in our exploration and discussion of holistic wellbeing and community on the South Side.

This event is free and open to the public. Food from Soul Vegetarian will be provided!

Transportation:
We are providing bus service to the event at I Grow Chicago (6402 S Honore)! Buses depart from the following locations at 4:30PM
-59th & University (Harper Memorial Library)
-51st & Martin Luther King Drive

Buses will leave I Grow Chicago at 6:30 pm to return to their original pickup locations

About Us:
South Side in Focus originated from an interest in broadening our understanding of the community we live in, beyond the media portrayal emphasizing violence and poverty. We use photo-narratives to initiate an open, personal, and holistic dialogue about life in South Side communities.

Over the past few months, we asked members of I Grow Chicago,Blackstone Bicycle Works, Creativity in Motion, Urban Juncture Foundation, and the Artful Living Program to take photos of what makes them feel well or unwell in their communities. We then used these photos to collect oral histories about their lives and communities. “Heal Our City” is the debut of these unique stories.

Ride over violence

July 30,2016

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ride-over-violence-coalition-training-ride-tickets-24652489259?aff=ebrowse

This ride is at your own pace biking 20 minutes north down the Lake Front Trail and back. This ride is meant to help riders feel comfortable bike riding while we discover how far we can ride in 20 minutes. This way we may become comfortable riding in longer tours through our communities to enhance our health, communal wellbeing and economic prosperity. Together we can ride over violence 😉

Moving Images, Making Cities Film Series: 70 Acres in Chicago

Sunday June 19, 2016

Black Cinema House, 7200 S Kimbark Ave, Chicago, IL 60619

The Moving Images, Making Cities Film Series is a cinematic companion to Place Lab’s Ethical Redevelopment Public Convenings + Salon Series. Ethical Redevelopment makes the case for mindful city-building. By utilizing cross-city networks and cross-sector innovation, Ethical Redevelopment works to shift the value system from conventional, profit-driven development practices to conscientious interventions in the urban context.

—–

The filmmakers call it “Chicago’s most hotly contested 70 acres of land.” With its prime central location, Cabrini Green was hailed as a public housing triumph and demonized as an urban disaster. Beginning in 1995, it was demolished, bit and bit, then repackaged as a “mixed income”development, where, unsurprisingly, the former, largely black residents have been marginalized or driven away. Ronit Bezalel and Judy Hoffman, who first covered the subject in their celebrated 1999 short Voices of Cabrini, spent 15 years on this eye-opening follow-up, which uses personal stories, expert commentary, and informative history to celebrate the spirit of a unique community and to mourn its betrayal and destruction.

A partnership between Place Lab and Black Cinema House this screening and conversation with Ronit Bezalel about her award-winning film on the demolition and repackaging of Cabrini Green kicks off a year-long film series exploring the complexities of neighborhood transformation and revealing the poetics of place.
