SUMMARY:ReFramed and ReCovered: A Conversation with the Curators
DESCRIPTION:This intimate event brings co-curators for ReFramed and ReCovered into conversation around the many benefits that trees impart to cities. Learn about the vision and themes of these complementary exhibits and join the curators for a gallery tour. \nThis program is $15 for admission and $7 for CAC Members. \nIn “ReCovered: Chicago’s Urban Tree Canopy” we consider the many benefits of lining our streets with trees. This immersive exhibit connects people to an element of nature we are inherently drawn to but often ignore as integral to the livability of cities and resilience of neighborhoods. Through the exhibit’s interactivity\, we can sense how trees serve to soften the hard edges of our built surroundings. \nThe companion exhibit\, “ReFramed: The Future of Cities in Wood\,” transitions from horizontal\, protective cover to a soaring vertical space\, introducing visitors to a very different function for trees in the city: buildings constructed from mass timber\, a new structural material which holds great promise for sustainable development and breathtaking design. \nHear from Ryan Gann and Ian Spula\, co-curators on ReCovered and ReFramed\, respectively. The conversation will be moderated by CAC’s Director of Exhibitions\, Eve Fineman. \nAt the conclusion of the program\, attendees are invited to tour both exhibitions with the curators.

SUMMARY:Demotic\, Kathourevousa\, and the Making of Greek Nation
DESCRIPTION:The debate as to whether Demotic (the spoken language of ordinary people) or Katharevousa (a cultivated recreation of Ancient Greek) should be the official language of Greece was a major political and cultural issue throughout the 19th and 20th century. A question of identity\, class\, and history\, the language question has much to tell us about Greece\, the Greek people\, and the weight of history. This NHM Discussion explores what the debate over the official language of Greece tells us about the past and future of Greece.

SUMMARY:Kulturküche: Bier-Rettich Class
DESCRIPTION:Radishes\, not just for Oktoberfest………. \nWhile radishes have roots beyond Southern Germany\,  Oktoberfest has inspired many to try white German “Bier-rettich”. \nRon Eberle grew up in Lincoln Square and attended St. Matthias School.  Son of a German immigrant from Bavaria.  He was first introduced to spiraled white radishes by his Opa during visits to America in the 1970s. Since that first introduction in the backyard of his childhood home on Hamilton Street\, Ron has shared his family’s recipe for preparing white radishes with many friends\, always to the same delight and surprise.  Come learn how to make this salad garnish the main event for a refreshing snack with a beer and pretzel.   \nFee: We are pleased to offer a discounted rate for Friends of the DANK Haus (What’s this?)
