Dreaming Inside History: Chicago’s Alternative Pedagogies on Screen
@ Watershed Art & Ecology
1821 S Racine Ave, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Friday, October 11th, from 6PM - 9PM
Join Inga, a Pilsen bookshop, for film screenings, discussion, and a shared meal. The films unpack and revisit histories of alternative art and design education, in and outside of schools, across several decades of Chicago history and feature works from Chicago Metro School, the Stockyard Institute, Street-Level Youth Media, Video Machete, and Eleanor Boyer & Karen Peugh’s La Maestra (1984).
Including newly digitized footage, the featured works show students and teachers (sometimes indistinguishably) asserting what it looks like to practice art and design education in an alternative context, and why taking such pedagogies to the margins of institutionality is meaningful for some and necessary for others. Join Inga, alongside students, teachers, and the filmmakers, for a conversation and food after the screening.
This event is hosted by Watershed, a space for thinking across and with art & ecology.
This program is supported by Hyde Park Art Center’s Artists Run Chicago Fund in partnership with Art Design Chicago.
