SUMMARY:‘Beyond Closure’: A Screening & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Kennedy-King College for a screening of Beyond Closure (2024) and a panel discussion on community responses to Chicago’s 2013 school closures. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe documentary Beyond Closure (2024) by On The Real Film and Borderless Studio recalls the history of Chicago’s 2013 school closures—the largest mass closure in U.S. history—and shares inspirational stories of community reclamation. Join us at Kennedy-King College in Englewood for a screening and panel discussion\, in partnership with Go Green on Racine. \nTaking a deeper look at three schools in Austin\, Bronzeville\, and Englewood\, Beyond Closure amplifies community voices leading the repurposing of Emmet\, Woods\, and Overton schools. They reflect on the local impact of these closures\, the struggle to reclaim school buildings for the public good\, and the intertwined inequity\, racism\, and injustice that led to shuttering of 50 neighborhood schools all at once\, mainly in low-income communities of color. \nAfter the film\, a panel discussion will bring together architects and community developers working on “The Regenerator\,” a nexus for housing\, healthcare\, and jobs within the former Woods Academy\, to address challenges overcome in the adaptive reuse. Borderless Studio’s Paola Aguirre Serrano moderates. \nWatch the trailer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Stitching Stories: The First Thread
DESCRIPTION:Stitching Stories: The First Thread is a pop-up exhibition that brings together Asian and Black artists whose works explore cultural exchange\, storytelling\, and visions of shared futures through textile arts. This exhibition marks an inaugural step toward building a coalition of artists and community members committed to cross-cultural connection and solidarity. \nThe project grew out of an extended planning process and a series of six community workshops\, where Asian and Black artists engaged directly with participants through textile-making\, storytelling\, and relationship building. These collective efforts reflect a broader vision of collaboration\, mutual support\, and cultural exchange. \nStitching Stories is also an open invitation—for artists\, organizers\, and all who believe in bridging communities—to take part in deepening understanding across racial and cultural lines. \nThis pop-up exhibition is free with museum admission. Admission can be purchased online or at the front desk. With purchase of admissions ticket\, you are able to view the pop-up exhibition as well as the three open exihibits at the Heritage Museum of Asian Art! \nOrganizers and Partners \nHeritage Museum of Asian Art\, Needles and Threads Quilters Guild\, HerArt Foundation\, and the Abrahamic Center for Cultural Education \nSupported by Healing Illinois \nEvents \nOpening Reception: June 14\, 2–4 PM \nJuneteenth Special Activation: June 19\, 2–4 PM \nClosing Artist Conversation: June 22\, 2–4 PM \n  \nAccessibility: The museum is wheelchair accessible.
