SUMMARY:Framed Views (Exhibition)
DESCRIPTION:This year\, for the first time\, CAC hosted a Photo Competition during Open House Chicago\, the weekend of October 19-20. Festival-goers of all skill levels were invited to take photos while exploring the city’s architectural sites and submit them in one of four categories: Interior\, Exterior\, Architectural Detail\, and Black & White. \nAfter receiving over 1\,300 submissions\, the photos were reviewed by our curatorial team\, who selected up to twelve finalists for each category. A panel of judges including professional photographers and architecture experts will choose winners from each category to be announced following the opening of the exhibition. Finalists and winners will be on display at The Center\, offering a unique look at the sites and spaces explored during the Open House Chicago weekend. \nThis exhibition is a chance to celebrate the diverse architecture of Chicago through the eyes of the community. Visit to see how different photographers captured the beauty and details of our city. \n\nPhoto by Jennifer Shanahan

SUMMARY:BETWEEN ROOTS AND HORIZON
DESCRIPTION:In Between Roots and Horizon\, Mosiyevych explores the convergence of Ukrainian and American landscapes through cultural and ecological themes. She reflects on the environmental devastation wrought by war in Ukraine while drawing parallels to ecological challenges in the U.S. such as industrial agriculture and climate change. These parallel concerns serve as metaphors for the human experience of displacement and adaptation\, capturing the fragile yet resilient connection between people and their environment.

SUMMARY:World Peace Through Humor: A German 101
DESCRIPTION:Need a good laugh in crazy times? Well lucky you: Paco Erhard brings you comedy that makes you feel sane again. Since 2016\, Paco has made us laugh hard many times with his famous 5-Step Guide to Being German. Now\, we are delighted to announce that Paco is returning to the DANK Haus with a sparkling new show that has already been called “chaotically funny” and “stand-up genius” by reviewers in the US and worldwide. \nIn his new show\, Paco finally turns his Teutonic wit on his cherished new home: America. Traveling all over the US since 2022\, he has gathered hilariously mischievous jokes\, tongue-in-cheek opinions\, and “only in America” observations through a German lens that will make you roll on the floor laughing. \nMix this with unheard-of stories and life lessons from his travels around the world and Paco’s trademark message of “we can all learn from each other”\, and you get an evening to laugh away the madness\, be inspired\, and feel good again. \nP.S. If you love German Karneval\, this is the perfect show for you – it’s like one big Büttenrede\, the traditional German Karneval comedy performance lampooning life\, people\, politics\, and all the things that have happened throughout the year. So… come live it up and laugh it up with this Büttenrede. Helau! Alaaf! Und Prost! \nP.P.S. Don’t worry – “a German comedian” is actually not one of the signs of the apocalypse. We checked. Phew!
