SUMMARY:Building a Relevant Historic Preservation Movement with Bonnie McDonald
DESCRIPTION:Kick off Preservation Month at the CAC with Landmarks Illinois President and CEO Bonnie McDonald! This program will explore the future of architectural preservation with her new book\, “The Relevancy Guidebook\,” unveiled in November 2023.\n\n\n\nAt its 50th anniversary\, Landmarks Illinois embarked on an effort to explore how to move preservation forward over the next 50 years\, culminating in its guiding principles. What the organization found is that preservationists across the nation are deeply questioning the practices and movement’s future. Landmarks Illinois president & CEO Bonnie McDonald was awarded a 2020 James Marston Fitch Charitable Foundation Mid-Career Fellowship to help bring the field’s challenges\, and solutions\, to the forefront through the Relevancy Project. Between 2019-2021\, she spoke to 130 individuals\, both within and outside of the preservation field\, to explore these questions and bring forward crowdsourced wisdom illuminating how change is possible. The project evolved into a forward-looking effort to catalogue preservation’s issues\, make the case for its opportunities\, highlight resources and instigate collective action toward change that will build a more relevant and just movement. Join us as McDonald explores her findings catalogued in her book\, “The Relevancy Guidebook: How We Can Transform the Future of Preservation\,” published by Landmarks Illinois in November 2023. Read her January 2023 Next City Op Ed and guidebook Executive Summary for a primer on the Relevancy Project’s outcomes.\n\n\nSpeaker: Bonnie McDonald\, President & CEO of Landmark Illinois\nOver her 11-year tenure as President & CEO\, Bonnie McDonald has led Landmarks Illinois to become a statewide and national voice for relevant change at this inflection point for the preservation movement. Bonnie’s transformative leadership has led Landmarks Illinois to focus on people and their vital connection to place\, and to develop collaborative solutions addressing community concerns like climate change\, affordable housing and lack of access to capital. Her policy work to incent preservation has led to over $6B in investment in existing buildings and over 30K new jobs created. The James Marston Fitch Charitable Foundation awarded Bonnie its 2020 Mid-Career Fellowship to inform\, inspire and support preservation’s evolution through The Relevancy Project\, a four-year interview and research initiative culminating in the recently published Relevancy Guidebook. During this time\, she has also maintained her commitment to serving as volunteer and mentor in the preservation community. From 2018-2021\, Bonnie chaired the board of the National Preservation Partners Network\, the national nonprofit representing preservation organizations\, and she currently serves as an appointee to the State of Illinois Route 66 Centennial Commission. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot appointed Bonnie co-chair of the Chicago Monuments Project Advisory Committee in 2020 to help lead a truth and racial reckoning process around the city’s problematic artworks. Bonnie and Landmarks Illinois proudly received the AIA Chicago Distinguished Service Award in December 2022. She holds a Master’s Degree in Historic Preservation Planning from Cornell University.

SUMMARY:Calligraphy Workshop with Yuzhe Cao
DESCRIPTION:Chinese calligraphy is a traditional and ancient art form with a history that stretches back more than 3\,000 years. As a unique blend of writing\, painting\, and poetry\, it has been used throughout Chinese history and culture for a variety of purposes\, such as communication\, art\, and self-expression. \nIn this workshop\, you will learn about the history and ancient techniques of Chinese calligraphy\, and have the opportunity to create your own work of art. Our professional calligraphy instructor will introduce you to the different styles of calligraphy\, guiding you through the basics of brush and ink techniques. You will discover the symbolism and meaning behind Chinese characters\, and how calligraphy has been used throughout history. By the end of the workshop\, you will take home a unique piece of calligraphy\, now having a deeper understanding and appreciation for this timeless art form. \n  \nAbout the Instructor: \nYuzhe Cao is a graduate student in the University of Chicago’s Master of Arts Program in the Humanities\, studying pre-modern Chinese art history. He obtained his BA in Modern Chinese History at the Ohio State University. He has studied calligraphy for over 10 years. \n  \nCalligraphy History \nThe earliest examples of Chinese calligraphy date back to the Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BCE)\, when characters were written on oracle bones for divination purposes. During the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE)\, calligraphy began to be used for other purposes as well\, including literature and art. Calligraphers during this time developed a variety of styles\, including the seal script and the clerical script. \nIn the Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE)\, calligraphy became more standardized\, with the development of the regular script. This style of calligraphy was used for official documents and inscriptions\, and it was characterized by its even and balanced strokes. \nDuring the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE)\, calligraphy reached its peak as an art form\, with the development of the cursive script and the running script. These styles were more fluid and expressive than the regular script\, and they allowed calligraphers to express their personalities and emotions more freely. In the Song Dynasty (960-1279 CE)\, calligraphy continued to evolve\, with the development of the semi-cursive script and the elegant and refined style known as the “scholarly style.” Calligraphers during this time focused on precision and subtlety\, and they often used calligraphy as a way to express their philosophical and literary ideas. \nDuring the Ming (1368-1644 CE) and Qing (1644-1912 CE) Dynasties\, calligraphy continued to be an important art form\, with many famous calligraphers creating works that are still admired today. In modern times\, calligraphy has continued to be an important part of Chinese culture\, with many people practicing it as a hobby or profession. Today\, Chinese calligraphy remains an important cultural tradition in China and is admired around the world for its beauty and complexity. \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. \n  \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:Carlos Moreno on the Livable City
DESCRIPTION:A special program featuring Professor Carlos Moreno\, the man who coined the term 15-Minute City to describe an urbanist movement that encourages walkable\, accessible and dynamic neighborhoods. \nDuring the Pandemic\, as a result of working from home\, many people rediscovered their own neighborhoods and all that they offer and don’t offer. Not coincidentally\, this is when the 15-Minute City took the world by storm. The 15-Minute City is rooted in the tried-and-true Urbanism of our oldest cities. It encourages bringing offices\, shops\, restaurants\, entertainment and essential services closer to where people live\, while providing an inviting environment for walking\, biking and strengthening social connections. The concept has also been touted as a way for cities to build back from the pandemic in more resilient ways. \nDuring this program\, learn about the movement’s origins and core principles\, and its rapid adoption by cities like Paris\, Shanghai\, Buenos Aires\, and Houston. Also discover how these ideas are beginning to influence urban policy and community development in Chicago’s neighborhoods and downtown. \nThis program is part of our Loop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns exhibition series exploring key themes for the future of downtowns. \nProgram Speaker: Carlos Moreno \nUniversity Professor and Researcher\, Carlos Moreno earned international recognition as a scientist with an innovative mind\, pioneer works and unique approach to urban issues. He is also a scientific advisor of national and international figures of the highest level. He works at the heart of issues of international significance as a result of his research\, bringing an innovative perspective on urban issues and offering solutions to the issues faced by the cities in the 21st century. Some of his concepts have traveled the world: the ‘Human Smart City’\, the ’15-Minute City’ and the ’30-Minute Territory’.  In 2022\, he led the launch of the Global Observatory of Sustainable Proximities at the World Urban Forum with UN-Habitat\, C40 Cities\, UCLG and other partners. His latest book\, “The 15-Minute City: A Solution to Saving Our Time and Our Planet\,” is published by Wiley (May\, 2024).

SUMMARY:If the Sky Could Dream: Interactive Installation\, Performance\,  & Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:Heritage Museum of Asian Art is collaborating with 2024 Resident Artist Irene Hsiao to create a new interactive installation\, performance\, and workshop series called If the Sky Could Dream. Coinciding with the Lunar Year of the Dragon\, the museum will showcase dragon artworks from throughout Asia\, as well as include an original\, contemporary vision of the dragon from an Asian American perspective by Hsiao.\n​\nIf the Sky Could Dream combines drawing\, painting\, dance\, found materials and found spaces at the museum to reveal and celebrate the dragons among us—structural\, ancestral\, architectural\, internal\, and environmental. Because the dragon is a water deity in Chinese culture\, this work also features projections of the waters of Chicago: Lake Michigan\, the Chicago River\, and the lakes\, ponds\, and lagoons of Chicago Parks. \nDates:\nFriday\, Feb 9\, 6:00 – 8:30 PM: Preview of the Dragon Exhibition\nSaturday\, Feb 10\, 11:00AM-12:00PM: Dragon Exhibition Opening Ceremony\nFriday\, Feb 16\, 6:00 – 8:00 PM: 3rd Friday with Irene Hsiao\nFriday\, Mar 15\, 6:00 – 8:00 PM: 3rd Friday with Irene Hsiao\nSaturday\, Mar 16\, 1:00 – 3:00PM: If the Sky Could Dream Workshop – Series One\nFriday\, Apr 19\, 6:00 – 8:00 PM: 3rd Friday with Irene Hsiao\nSaturday\, May 11\, 1:00 – 3:00PM: If the Sky Could Dream Workshop – Series Two\n​\nIf the Sky Could Dream is supported\, in part\, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant. \nJoin the HMAA’s Artist in Residence Irene Hsiao for a performance with guest musician Menghua Guan\, following with an insightful artist conversation about the process behind her project\, IF THE SKY COULD  DREAM. Attendees will explore the details of Hsiao’s project through the lens of the artist herself\, learning about installation and performance art and how it relates to the HMAA’s current exhibition Year of the Dragon: Early China to LEGO. \nIF THE SKY COULD DREAM focuses on the Chinese dragon as a powerful being that fosters harmony. This creature is emblematic of China as well as a mythological being for many Asian and Western cultures and thus evokes a sense of mysticism\, and intrigue in many communities. Representing the Chinese Dragon as a water deity\, the  installation series will feature images and projections of the weather and local bodies of water in Chicago. \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. \nIf The Sky Could Dream is supported\, in part\, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant. \nAbout Irene Hsiao \nIrene Hsiao creates performances in conversation with visual art in museums\, galleries\, and public spaces\, a practice that includes site-specific interaction with visual artworks and experimental engagement with artists\, institutions\, and the public.
