Social Architecture: Bronzeville
@ 47th (CTA Green)
600 E 47th St, Chicago IL 60653
Opening Sunday, October 6th, from 1PM - 3PM
On view through Wednesday, December 31st
A critical exploration of urban space exploring how space & place intersect with memory & justice.
This event is presented as part of the Chicago Architecture Biennial.
What is the “social architecture” that holds communities together? How does memory define a place? Who makes culture today? How is prejudice embedded in urban space? What can policy-makers learn from Black power, resilience, and joy?
Explore this and more on a critical walking tour exploring the past and present of Bronzeville. From Black Metropolis, to vice district, to queer mecca, to a modern-day font of culture, inspiration, and entrepreneurship – Bronzeville has something for everyone.
