subVersion Summer Camp is a Do-It-Together series of gatherings and calls to action! MOST PROGRAMS EVENTS and MEALS are FREE TO THE PUBLIC. To help fund the camp you can donate and become a Camper and pin for $25, or become a Parent of a Camper for $100. ( or make yer donation at Co-Prosperity)

We have invited artists, educators, musicians, filmmakers, activists, designers, and workers of all stripes to converge in Chicago this summer to help us make posters, music, t-shirts and merit badges while we make friends, comrades, and plans. Let’s make camp.

Join us in Bridgeport, the Community of the Future (and beyond), for ten days of camaraderie, fun and resistance to the spread of fascist culture. subVersion Summer Camp will foster collective re-education through public conversations, workshops, classes and happenings. We’ll present a broad range of creative forms of protest, and participants will be able to choose their own solidarity adventure… kickball or tag, puppets or banners, ballots or stink bombs? Schedule is below.

Full schedule available here


WEDNESDAY JULY 23RD

VOZU Workshop – 5:45PM – 8:00 PM

Hosted by: Lumpen Radio: Juanjose Rivas

@ Research House for Asian Art • 3217 S. Morgan St

This is a collective-building workshop of hybrid technological instruments. It is based on the idea of planned obsolescence and tech recycling as a means of resistance. Through the assembly of an auto amplified wind instrument, we will work with recycled materials–electronical residues and obsolete components– to transform them into autonomous sonic devices. THERE IS LIMITED AVAILABILITY TO THIS WORKSHOP. YOU MUST RSVP lumpenradio@publicmediainstitute.com

Zine Club at Life on Marz – 7:00 – 9:00 PM

Hosted by: Cynthia Hanifin

@ Life on Marz Community Club • 1950 N Wetern Ave

For our Zine Club Chicago on Marz event at Life on Marz in July, we’ll invite attendees to create pages for a collaborative zine with the theme Subversion. The zine will be distributed in print and digitally to the community.

Hosted by: Julie Pomerleau

@ Research House for Asian Art • 3217 S. Morgan St

Intangible Choir is a community choir that meets twice monthly at Tangible Books. Join us to learn how to raise your voice with energizing vocal warm ups. We’ll perform some protest songs and you can sing along with us!

Perfect Pancakes – Subversive Digital Media – 7:30 – 9:00 PM

@ Co-Prosperity • 3219 S Morgan St

A crash-course in creating subversive digital media! After introductions and a brief survey in subversive video history & appreciation, we will demo a writer’s room style workshopping session, discuss production design on a small budget, and produce a small simple piece prepared for minimal acting skills. Finally, there will be a screening of “Perfect Pancakes”, a subversive daytime talkshow. Participants will build skills and confidence in creating their own subversive media.
