SUMMARY:A Show of Hands: Handwriting in the Age of Print
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, handwriting served as a powerful tool for communicating information\, preserving knowledge\, shaping identity\, and building empires. In our digital world\, however\, fewer and fewer people can read handwritten words. \nHandwriting has survived disruptive technologies before. The invention of printing did not diminish the need for handwriting. Instead\, it created new markets for ambitious printers and entrepreneurial writing teachers. These men and women used advances in print technologies to widen the influence of handwriting in everyday life. \nA Show of Hands focuses on people\, cultures\, and technology to illustrate how handwriting has been taught\, reproduced\, and reimagined over the past five hundred years. Displaying a range of books and manuscripts from the Newberry’s collection\, the exhibition makes the role of handwriting in the age of print newly legible. \nA Show of Hands is generously supported by the Richard C. von Hess Foundation\, the Fitzgerald Family Foundation\, and Diane and Richard Weinberg.

SUMMARY:ELLEN V. & PHILIP L. GLASS HOLOCAUST COMMEMORATIVE SERIES | INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY: “TWO REMAIN: OUT OF DARKNESS” (ACT ONE)
DESCRIPTION:In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day\, gather with us on-site at the Museum for a live opera performance of the first act of Two Remain: Out of Darkness\, in partnership with Chicago College of Performance Arts\, Roosevelt University. \nHer Jewish identity hidden\, Krystyna Zywulska was a political prisoner at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Many years after the war\, a journalist asks Krystyana to share her stories\, hoping to record them on a tape player. Haunted and helped by the ghosts of her past— Zosia\, Edka\, Mariola and her younger self\, Krysia — she struggles to find the words. \nJoin us for this unique and compelling commemorative performance that will exhibit the power of art to uplift the heart and cradle of the soul\, and the strength found in the fight for survival. \nThere will be a post-performance Q&A with Roosevelt University featuring Aaron Hunt\, Stage Director; Andrea Jones\, Soprano; Alexis Neal\, Mezzo-Soprano; Dana Brown\, Pianist/Conductor; Daniel Zhao\, Mezzo-Soprano; Kaleigh Watkins\, Soprano; and Tanya Landau\, Soprano. \nFree to the public.

SUMMARY:The Chicago River and Lake Michigan: Confused Waters
DESCRIPTION:Through the years\, the land and water around Chicago have been radically altered. In 1900\, the river was reversed. Meanwhile\, Michigan Avenue by Grant Park used to be lakefront property! Join us for a virtual presentation as we explore the ebb and flow of our celebrated lake and river. \nStanding at upper Wacker Drive and Columbus\, it’s always astonishing to remember that before 1803\, you would be wading in Lake Michigan. The modifications that have been made to the Chicago River have included dredging\, channeling\, damming\, tunneling\, legal decisions and breaching it at its South Branch headwaters to flow away from Lake Michigan. Likewise\, we have altered the shoreline of Lake Michigan and struggled with it as it fluctuated about six feet from a record low in 2013 to a record high in 2022. \nSpeaker: Kevin Griebenow \nKevin is a civil engineer with more than 25 years of experience inspecting and assessing the safety of dams. A CAC docent since 1993\, Kevin leads tours for guests of all ages. He has given presentations on structural engineering\, innovations in construction materials\, the construction and engineering feats of the 1893 World’s Fair and the design history of dams.

SUMMARY:LaSalle Street at a Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual roundtable conversation exploring ideas for a renewed LaSalle Street corridor\, which currently finds itself at a crossroads. How does an austere financial district transform into a vibrant 24-hour neighborhood\, and who will call this neighborhood home? \nIn many ways\, the fate of the LaSalle Street corridor and the broader downtown are intertwined. If the most viable future for downtown is flexible adaptation to a mix of uses\, there is no better place to test this hypothesis than along this iconic office corridor. Recognizing this\, the City of Chicago recently launched a planning initiative for a reimagined LaSalle Street\, freeing up all-important tax increment financing (TIF) and inviting development proposals. \nHowever\, there are questions about the challenges LaSalle Street must overcome: namely\, what is the prescription for its aging building stock? Will tax incentives be sufficient to spark investment in complex residential conversions and protection of the corridor’s landmark architecture? And how central is a redesign and greening of the public realm to LaSalle’s long-term success or failure? Our roundtable of leading local experts in planning\, design and real estate sets out to find answers.
