SUMMARY:Arte de La Borinqueña - Women's History Month
DESCRIPTION:The National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture is excited to announce our new collaborative exhibition\, Arte de La Borinqueña\, by Creator Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez\, on display from March 2 – October 26\, 2024. \nThe public opening will be on March 2\, 2024\, from 10 am – 2 pm and will include a “Meet and Greet” with the award-winning graphic novelist and creator of the superhero La Borinqueña\, Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez\, from 10:30 am – 1 pm. \nThrough the serialized comic medium\, Miranda-Rodriguez has effectively emphasized the significance of narrating Puerto Rico’s history\, addressing contemporary social and environmental issues\, and celebrating the diverse Puerto Rican diaspora. La Borinqueña was launched in 2016 under Miranda-Rodriguez’s studio\, Somos Arte\, where he serves as Creative Director and is recognized for his philanthropic contributions. The story emerged during a critical period for the Puerto Rican people\, marked by an economic crisis and natural disasters in the Caribbean. La Borinqueña has transcended fiction\, evolving into a philanthropic superhero movement with a collection of graphic novels\, a special benefit anthology with DC Comics titled Ricanstruction\, and noteworthy partnerships with NRDC\, Chocolate Cortés\, and others.

SUMMARY:Loop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Chicago’s Loop is an inflection point\, emerging from the pandemic on shaky footing but also with abundant opportunity to transition to something more vibrant\, resilient\, and livable. Loop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns holds our central business district up to the light\, exploring ways to keep our economic engine humming while diversifying uses and making the Loop more welcoming for everyone. \nThe exhibition frames Chicago’s Loop as a “lab” for examining the shared challenges American downtowns face today. It prompts visitors’ reflection on their own experiences and aspirations and ventures design and policy solutions for reshaping downtowns and our relationship to them. The show espouses the belief that Chicagoans can continue to meet our challenges with vision and resolve\, while also drawing inspiration from more than a century of central area planning and a modern-day exchange of ideas with peer cities. \nLoop as Lab: Reshaping Downtowns\, presents a range of projects\, initiatives\, and provocative design ideas centered around four themes: \n\nRESIDE: Where and why are people living downtown?\nRENEW: Can we repurpose existing buildings for long-term public or private gain?\nRECONNECT: Can city dwellers safely and comfortably traverse downtown\, and access its amenities and services?\nREWILD: How are we incorporating green spaces and accommodating nature?\n\nEach theme is developed through a look at case study plans/projects by leading designers\, architects\, and developers. In addition\, a corresponding set of “architectural follies-in-the-round” at the heart of the gallery offers interactive entrypoints for visitors\, inviting engagement with the themes and ideas in unique ways. Further personalizing the content\, vignettes of “downtown denizens” (e.g. residents\, shop owners\, cyclists\, students) feature their individual experiences and hopes for the downtown area. \nTo further drive home the importance of participatory design and planning\, the exhibit features various public engagement strategies and activities\, including interactive elements like an entryway video produced by local podcasters\, 77 Flavors of Chicago\, and a “ballot box” where visitors can write and submit feedback on downtown design issues. \nPhoto of Marina Towers taken by Jason Peterson \nLAB EXPLORER KITS FOR THE FAMILY\nDid you know that the Chicago Loop can be used as a laboratory to learn new things about how we live and play? Stop by the CAC Box Office during the run of this exhibition\, and pick up a Lab Explorer Kit! Contents are designed to engage youth ages 6 to 12.

SUMMARY:Disruptors Exhibition - Celebrating 50 Years of Chicago Women in Architecture
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the legacy of Chicago women who have shaped architecture and design industries in the Windy City and beyond through the lens of the 50th anniversary of the Chicago Women in Architecture (CWA) professional group. \nDISRUPTERS showcases the trailblazing founders of CWA\, who 50 years ago broke through the barriers of a male-dominated industry. These pioneers\, lacking their own space\, sat on the floor of an office to conceive of an organization that would support and uplift women in architecture. The exhibition traces CWA’s journey over the past five decades\, celebrating the progress the group has made and its lasting impact on the field while taking a look at the splinter groups that emerged from CWA\, some more disruptive than others. \nThe exhibit was developed in partnership with CWA\, Wink Design\, Ross Barney Architects\, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC).

SUMMARY:Noted Chicago Bridge Designers
DESCRIPTION:A look at a quintet of designers who impacted bridge design in Chicago and throughout the United States. \nWhile it would be hyperbole to call Chicago “a city of bridges”\, it certainly has its fair share crossing the Chicago River. The city has more moveable bridges than any other in the United States. Multiple waterways\, car and pedestrian traffic\, and heavy railroad infrastructure require bridges of all shapes and sizes in the city–some of which have amazing histories often overlooked. Behind the bridges are their designers: Ralph Modjeski and Joseph Strauss began their storied careers and opened their first offices in Chicago before receiving national and international acclaim; John Alexander Low Waddell and John Greiner were already famous before they erected structures in Chicago; an architect and urban planner\, Edward Bennett\, worked to instill the principles of the City Beautiful movement in his bridge designs which was contained in the Chicago Plan of 1909. This virtual program will discuss these designers and the functional beauty these bridges bring to Chicago.

SUMMARY:10th Annual Irish American Movie Hooley
DESCRIPTION:         \n  \n  \nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: \nMike Houlihan \n312-431-8700\, hiberniantransmedia@gmail.com \n  \nIRISH AMERICAN MOVIE HOOLEY \nRETURNS FOR 2024 \n  \nWhen a party gets rowdy\, the Irish call it a “hooley.” \nTullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey & Hibernian Media proudly announce film selections for their 10th Annual “Irish American Movie Hooley”\, scheduled this year at The Wilmette Theatre in Wilmette Sept. 27-28-29\, 2024. It’s the only Irish American film festival in the world and this year we are so excited to present three extraordinary films. \nOpening the Movie Hooley on Friday September 27th at 8PM will be the World Premiere  SINS OF IRELAND. written and directed by our old friend Alex Fegan\, who will attend this year’s Hooley. This feature documentary is told “Through the prism of the confession box\, which has its origins in Ireland\, Sins of Ireland  is a portrait of an overlooked aspect of Ireland’s past and how it impacted many parts of the world. Fifteen Irish priests\, known for hearing the confessions\, outline what confession was supposed to be and\, while confessing the sins of the church\, what it became.” John Byrne of RTE calls it\, “Genius – it would be a sin to miss it”  \nSaturday night\, September 28th\, will feature the 8PM special Chicago screening of KNEECAP\, written and directed by Rich Peppiatt. Don’t miss this film\, it’s bravura filmmaking at its Irish best! Michael Phillips of the Tribune recently wrote “Kneecap’ is a rousing Belfast hip hop ode to native tongues everywhere!” This film is often in the Irish language with English sub-titles and celebrates the funny\, sexy\, side of Irish rebellion with this coda\, “Every word of Irish spoken is a bullet for Irish freedom.” Jessica Reynolds\, the young actress who plays the sultry\, “Georgia” the Femme fatale in KNEECAP\, will make a personal appearance at this special screening.\n  \nFinally on Sunday at 5PM\, Sept. 29th\, the Hooley will present the Chicago premiere of Rita Davern’s evocative documentary film\, STORIES I DIDN’T KNOW “It’s a family reunion … what could go wrong? Plenty\, as we soon learn when Rita Davern exposes an ugly reality at the heart of a family legend.”  We encourage our audience to come and meet Rita as she tells an emotional tale of her family\, their roots in Ireland\, and the shocking truths she’s discovered along the way. \n  \nNow in its’ tenth year\, the Movie Hooley has introduced audiences to the very best in Irish and Irish American filmmaking\, with opportunities to meet each individual writer\, director\, actor\, or producer who have brought their films to Chicago\, this year once again bringing the films directly to our audiences at The Wilmette Theatre in Wilmette. \n  \nChicago Tribune columnist Rick Kogan said\, “If your image of the Irish is trapped in some sort of playful Shamrock- “Danny Boy” realm\, prepare yourselves for the dark but altogether satisfying world represented by the latest offerings of this year’s Irish American Movie Hooley.” \n  \nThe films have grown in stature each year and the 10th Annual Movie Hooley promises to be our best yet. The Annual Movie Hooley is presented by Hibernian Media NFP\, our local public charity dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Irish culture. We are proud to partner with Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey in presenting this year’s Hooley.  Hibernian also produces a pair of weekly Irish American radio programs\, their community web blog FreeCraic.com\, an annual pilgrimage to Ireland\, and a variety of other film\, TV\, live concerts and literary endeavors. \n  \nSponsors of the 10th Annual Irish American Movie Hooley include The Hilton Chicago\, Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey and Madden Funds.. \n  \nTickets for each film are $12 and snacks and drinks are offered in the lobby. \n  \nWilmette theatre 847-251-7424\, \nwilmettetheatre.com \n1122 Central Ave\, Wilmette\, IL \nFor more information about the Movie Hooley\, visit: https://hibernianmedia.org/movie-hooley/ \n  \n  \n
