SUMMARY:“一家之主”：女性，母性，依属&自主 “Reclaim”: Womanhood\, Motherhood\, and In/Dependence – Movie Screening and Discussion with KAN-WIN
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this event is in Mandarin 本次活动将全程使用中文进行。 \nThis event includes a movie screening followed by a discussion about the movie. Centering on a woman in her late 50s/early 60s who has lived her life for others–husband\, children\, parents–the movie depicts traditional gender roles embedded commonly in Asian families. Through guided discussion\, participants will have an opportunity to explore further and deeper experiences and struggles an Asian woman might undergo during her life\, especially how to “reclaim” her independence as a capable wife\, a caring mother\, and a successful career woman. \n活動包括電影放映和有關電影的討論。這部電影以一位 50 歲末/60 歲出頭的女性為中心，她為他人（丈夫、孩子、父母）而活，描繪了亞洲家庭中普遍存在的傳統性別角色。透過引導式討論​​，參與者將有機會進一步深入探討亞洲女性一生中可能經歷的經歷和掙扎，特別是如何在一個有能力的妻子、一個有愛心的母親和一個成功的職業婦女的多重角色中重申自己的自主性。 \nPlease note that events may be canceled or postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. \n“AAPI Heritage Month Cultural Festival 2024” is sponsored by Chicago Community Trust. \nEvent Agenda \n1:00  Door Open \n1:20  Introduction \n1:30-3:30  Movie Screening \n3:30-3:40  Stretch & Break \n3:40-4:20  Discussion \n4:20-4:30  Closing Remarks \n4:30 End \n  \nAbout KAN-WIN \nKAN-WIN’s mission is to eradicate gender-based violence\, including domestic violence and sexual assault\, especially for women and children across Asian American communities and beyond through culturally competent services\, community engagement\, and advocacy. \nAccessibility \nThe Heritage Museum of Asian Art’s Entrance is on West 35th Street.  Take the elevator to the third floor and turn right to the Museum Reception Desk.

SUMMARY:Issues in Focus: Two Stadium Do-Overs for Chicago
DESCRIPTION:A pair of stadium proposals from the Bears and White Sox have ushered in supersized dreams for Chicago’s Museum Campus and The 78 megadevelopment site. Are these plans pointing the city toward wins\, losses or draws?

SUMMARY:What You Didn’t Learn on the Boat Tour
DESCRIPTION:Although our docents go into great depth covering the history of over 50 buildings on the CAC’s renowned River Cruise\, that ninety-minute tour is still not enough time to share all of the interesting facts about the architecture along the Chicago River. Join CAC docents as they share the “extra” stories about the buildings and people that make the Chicago River so special. \nThis illustrated talk features some of our favorite “deleted scenes” from the CAFC River Cruise aboard Chicago’s First Lady. Explore new thinking that may reverse your opinion of the Chicago River reversal. Meet a Chicago woman who embodied our city’s “I Will” motto. Slip under the glass skin to the concrete bones of a structural marvel. Ponder a question asked by every Chicago driver from 1908 to today. If you’ve ever approached a river cruise docent after your tour and asked\, “can you tell me more?” this presentation is for you! \nProgram Presenters: \nJosh Brickman \nJosh has a master’s degree in Structural Engineering and practiced in the City of Chicago for seven years. Now working as a software developer\, he continues to give architectural tours with CAC\, weaving science stories and physics facts into his tales about architecture and history. \nSusan Frost \nSusan has been giving architecture tours in the Chicago area for 25 years\, and has been a CAC docent since 2015. She has a BA in Art History and an abiding love of historic preservation and Chicago history. The question from guests that she can never answer is “what is your favorite building?” \nAlison Schlickman \nAlison has been a docent since 2015. As a fourth generation Chicagoan\, she loves Chicago’s architecture and history. Becoming a docent after a long career with the Federal Reserve has given her the chance to share her enthusiasm for Chicago with guests from far and wide. Being part of the Chicago Architecture Center has been a joy and a privilege for Alison.

SUMMARY:Rewilding Chicago’s Waterways
DESCRIPTION:The Wild Mile is one-of-a-kind: a floating eco-park in the heart of the city. Visit this steadily growing wonder on the North Branch of the Chicago River for a conversation\, walking tour\, and optional kayak adventure with co-creators Urban Rivers and Skidmore\, Owings & Merrill (SOM). Backed by the City of Chicago as part of a larger effort to redefine and rehabilitate this channelized section of the river\, a team of experts and community partners devised the Wild Mile as proof-of-concept in how industrial waterways can be reborn as wildlife sanctuaries connecting city dwellers to nature. In 2022\, the first 400 feet of what will ultimately be an intricate mile-long network of floating boardwalks and wetlands debuted along the North Branch Canal behind the Kingsbury Street REI store. This spring an extension is underway that will double the park’s length. Urban Rivers co-founder and Executive Director Nick Wesley and SOM Partner Doug Voigt will share fascinating details of the design\, planning and lengthy negotiations behind this undertaking\, and give tours of the new landscape and habitat. Come discover the thriving ecosystem that has quickly taken hold above and below the water’s surface! This program is part of the Chicago Architecture Center’s Loop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns exhibition series exploring key themes for the future of cities. \nDue to space limitations\, this event is capped at 40 registrants. Those interested in the kayak tour should reserve an extra hour (until 7pm)\, which is first come first served with a maximum capacity of 8 participants. This option will be available upon checkout.

SUMMARY:New Book Presentation and Discussion on the Origins of Jean Baptiste Point du Sable
DESCRIPTION:In this book discussion\, Dr. Rafael Pérez Guerra presents a series of historical documents long accepted as traditional and true until the mid-twentieth century\, when several American and Chicago historians replaced the sources with their interpretations and historical fallacies that persist today.

SUMMARY:History Course: The Germanen At the Crossroads of Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:Date: \nStart\nThursday\, October 03\, 2024 \nTime:  \nLocation: \nLocation\nDANK Haus: 2nd Floor\, Brauhaus Room \n\n \nThe Germanen: At the Crossroads of Antiquity \nHistory Course presented by Mike Haas \nBegins October 3\, 2024 \nThursday nights\, 7-9 PM \nWestern European civilization arose from its encounter with the cultures of Rome\, Athens & Jerusalem. It was at these crossroads of antiquity that the ancient Germanen would appear on the world stage as warlike barbarians—to the Romans and Greeks—and soulless pagans—to Jews and Christians. It was at the confluence of these cultures\, however\, that the identity of Western Europe would gradually take shape.  \nIndeed\, as these ancient cultures clashed\, overlapped and intersected\, the center of geo-political power in antiquity shifted from the Hellenic East to Rome. It was from the monotheism of Jerusalem that Christianity was derived\, and once Rome adopted the fledgling faith\, so would the Germanic successor kingdoms in the western half of the former Roman Empire during the 6th\, 7th & 8th centuries. \nIt would be these same ancient Germanen\, however\, who would not only assimilate Roman culture and Christian religiosity but in time leave their own cultural imprint on what became known as the Holy Roman Empire. A powerful Western European geo-political entity during the Early Middle Ages\, it was founded by Karl der Grosse (Charlemagne)\, a West Germanic/Frankish tribal king into whose hands was laid the defense of Western Christendom by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day in Rome in the year 800. For his vision and endeavors in putting Western Europe on a path leading out of the Dark Ages\, Karl would be heralded as the Father of Europe. \nJoin us\, then\, for an exploration of Germanic Antiquity and its Kultur to find out what recorded history tells us of these martially vigorous Germanen\, who carried mighty and swift swords but few of whom could read or write. \nThis course will provide participants an excellent opportunity to broaden their general knowledge and basic understanding of early German history. No textbooks\, no homework\, no papers\, no tests or German language skills required. Just a sincere interest to come/learn and come/share in a relaxed\, laid-back setting in the DANK Haus itself or on Zoom within the cozy confines of your own abode. \nMike Haas\, Course Presenter

SUMMARY:Photographing the Salt Shed: The Intersection of Art and Labor
DESCRIPTION:Originally constructed in 1929\, the Morton Salt Company Warehouse Complex is a familiar and beloved Chicago Landmark along Elston Avenue near Goose Island. For decades\, its enormous hand-painted sign has captivated people traveling along Interstate I-90. As times changed\, the property was no longer used for salt storage and processing. Sandra Steinbrecher’s new photography book\, The Salt Shed\, chronicles the building’s remarkable transformation into a stunning music venue. \nJoin the CAC for an enlightening panel discussion on the Salt Shed’s redevelopment\, history and working-class roots. Joining Sandra are Daniel John Majerowicz\, the plumbing foreman for the project\, and Paul Durica\, Director of Exhibitions at the Chicago History Museum and author of the book’s history essay. The conversation is moderated by Heidi Stevens\, a Chicago writer\, speaker and nationally syndicated columnist\, who wrote the book’s foreword. \nCopies of The Salt Shed will be on sale at the CAC Design Store before and after the program and there will be a short book signing following the panel discussion.
