SUMMARY:Art Deco Outside of the Loop
DESCRIPTION:A continuation of last year’s popular program that looked at Chicago Art Deco buildings outside of downtown. \nThis program explores the city’s far north and northwest sides and provides an in-depth look at a variety of Art Deco structures\, including both residential and commercial buildings\, as well as a college\, a bridge\, and a mausoleum. Some are well-preserved city landmarks; some sport bold polychromatic terra cotta facades\, the likes of which are not seen downtown. But all of them have striking geometric ornamentation that reflected the optimism and prosperity of the Roaring 20s and that is still eye-catching today. \nProgram Presenter: Bill Coffin \nBill Coffin is a former appellate attorney and adjunct professor of legal research and writing\, Bill Coffin became a CAC docent in 2004. He is the tour director for the CAC‘s two Art Deco walking tours and has presented lectures about Art Deco at the CAC and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute\, a program of Northwestern University’s School of Professional Studies. He enjoys sharing photos of Art Deco buildings with friends from his travels to cities big and small all across the country.

SUMMARY:Roots of Reform: A Woman’s Place is…?
DESCRIPTION:Early Chicago female reformers left a legacy that influences public policy and social justice activism to this day. Join us as we explore their place… where they lived\, worked\, and made a difference in Chicago through the safety net they wove. \nIt’s important in Chicago to recognize the contributions of women to social\, economic\, and educational reforms for urban development. Focusing on their work from 1870 – 1920 (BEFORE they had the vote)\, we consider where and how these women laid the foundations of reforms that support Chicago’s vibrant and diverse communities through local\, state\, and national policies that continue to this day. \nABOUT THE PROGRAM PRESENTER\nCAC docent Catherine Thomson is a professional property manager and an avid social justice activist. She is also one-half of HERstory\, a duo of women honoring the achievements of women through musical storytelling programs such as The 19th Amendment and the Power of the Vote\, Trailblazing Female Firsts\, and debuting March 9th\, A Century of Songwriting Sisters. Catherine celebrates HERstory every day\, but during Women’s History Month\, it is a delight to dig deep into the roots of reform and the Chicago women who cultivated them.

SUMMARY:A Mecca of Midcentury Modernism: Alen B. Dow Residential Designs in Midland\, Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Midcentury modern design is still as present and popular as it was when it first appeared on the scene. By taking this virtual tour of Midland\, Michigan\, you’ll learn about the impact of Alden B. Dow on modernist design with breathtaking examples from his home and studio. \nNever heard of architect Alden B. Dow? That’s not surprising. None of his designs are in Chicago or anywhere in Illinois. Yet\, he started designing modernist homes in the early 1930s before Mies van der Rohe came to the U.S. Dow was influenced by his apprenticeship with Frank Lloyd Wright and just as Frank Lloyd Wright did\, Dow’s Home and Studio expressed his design ideas. This presentation will showcase some of Dow’s residences in Midland\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Online Lunch & Learn: “The Watchmakers”
DESCRIPTION:Harry Lenga was born to a family of Chassidic Jews in Kozhnitz\, Poland\, in 1919. The proud sons of a watchmaker\, Harry and his two brothers\, Mailekh and Moishe\, studied their father’s trade at an early age. Upon the German invasion of Poland\, when the Lenga family was upended\, Harry and his brothers never imagined that the tools and skills they learned from their father would be key to their survival.\nJoin us in conversation with Scott Lenga as he recounts the moving and harrowing story of the Holocaust through the eyes of his father and two uncles – the Lenga brothers\, three young men whose watchmaking skills\, rudimentary tools\, and an entrepreneurial spark – helped them survive Nazi concentration camps and stay together despite the odds\nFree to the public.

SUMMARY:Devouring Empires: Transmitting Sacrit Tongues
DESCRIPTION:TIES is excited to announce DEVOURING EMPIRES\, an evening of poetry by Demian DinéYazhi’ @heterogeneoushomosexual and Joss Barton @ganjacum_! Join us Thursday\, July 28 at 7 pm CDT for this virtual event hosted by TIES and @centernativefutures. Register for free at the link in our bio or bit.ly/devour7\n_______________\nDevouring Empires is a Trans\, Non-Binary\, and Queer futurist poetic offering and call for liberation through the endurance performance poetry of Indigenous Diné artist Demian DinéYazhi´(they/them) and Trans artist Joss Barton (she/her).\nDemian DinéYazhi´’s WE LEFT THEM NOTHING is an homage to 90s nihilistic pessimism written between 2018 and 2021. Their long form poetry is a testament to decay and destruction of colonial structures as a regenerative force necessary for rebirth\, transition\, and survival. Their performance is a ceremonial offering to sacrit Indigenous Land\, QTNB2S ancestors\, and the reclamation of suppressed power.\nJoss Barton’s poem The Wagons Ain’t Here Yet… is a collection of visions\, hallucinations\, dispatches\, and warnings from the fourth dimension. Written in 2017\, Wagons is a psychedelic diary of transsexual femme longing\, drugs\, sexual desires\, and ancestral possession. Mixing spoken word\, projection art\, and drag her stage performance is both a call to arms and a ts oracle prophecy for America.\nDevouring Empires seeks to hasten the destruction of global systems of power by liberating the untold and defiant stories of our resilience and survival as indigenous and transgender peoples through the powerful medium of physical and performance poetry\, drag artistry\, and sacred forms of queer prophecy and protest. for

SUMMARY:Virtual Fireside Chat – Women in Philanthropy and Social Enterprise
DESCRIPTION:Join MALA for a fireside discussion centered on the leadership of women in the philanthropic and entrepreneurial space. Our special guest\, Khitam Masoud\, will sit down with MALA Co-Founder Zainab Khan to discuss her journey in philanthropy and social enterprise and share advice for other women navigating these fields.\n_______________\nAbout Khit:\nKhit is a first-generation Palestinian female immigrant born and raised in Northern California. At the age of 16\, she was emancipated by the Sacramento Courts as she avoided an arranged marriage to her first cousin. Khit has been on her own ever since with no relationship with her family or relatives since 1998.\n\nWorking multiple jobs at a time to provide for herself\, she has been trying to complete her first Bachelor’s degree since she graduated high school in 1999. Life lessons including; fighting cancer on her own\, managing mental health and disorders such as PTSD\, anxiety\, ADHD\, and depression\, and surviving through abusive relationships and sex crimes\, has made it very difficult in maintaining a 2.0 or higher G.P.A to complete a college education as a non-traditional adult student.\n\nAfter surviving cancer in 2007\, Khit moved to Chicago where she then learned more about how to get involved with not-for-profit organizations. For the past 6 years\, she has been volunteering and working at Chicago-based organizations including Imerman Angels\, a 1-on-1 cancer support organization\, as a Mentor. Angel. Khit has gained an overwhelming amount of experience and skills thanks to non-profit professionals in her life that have become some of her most trusted mentors today. Her passion for philanthropy and making an impact on women like her\, became the impetus for starting her own charity\, Blessons for Women (Blessons\, NFP). With more than 200 speaking engagements under her belt\, she has learned how to cultivate relationships within the Chicago community and beyond

SUMMARY:Online Program - Breaking the Silence: Native American Boarding Schools
DESCRIPTION:Between 1869 and the 1960s\, hundreds of thousands of Native American children were forcibly abducted from their homes and families and placed in more than 350 government-funded\, and often church-run\, Indian Boarding schools. These children were subjected to horrendous conditions\, suffering physical\, sexual\, cultural\, and spiritual abuse and torture. \nThey were banned from speaking their Native languages\, from traditional and cultural practices\, and stripped of traditional clothing\, hair\, and personal belongings. The express intent was to implement cultural genocide through removal and “reprogramming” Native children to carry out systematic destruction of Native cultures and communities. Many of these children never returned home\, and their fates have yet to be accounted for by the U.S. government. \nJoin us for a poignant conversation with Dr. Samuel Torres\, Deputy Chief Executive Officer for the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS)\, as he highlights and addresses the history and ongoing trauma created by the U.S. Indian Boarding School Policy. \nTorres is expected to be accompanied by a boarding school survivor. There will be opportunities for questions after the discussion. \nReservations required.
