READ/WRITE – Grassroots Research Workshop

@ Compound Yellow

244 Lake St, Oak Park, IL 60302

Opening Saturday, May 12th, from 2PM - 4PM

Grassroots Research Workshop w/ Read/Write Libraries

Led by Nell Taylor

In this workshop, participants will discuss the role of libraries and other institutional keepers of knowledge and explore simple approaches to transferring that authority to their own communities by challenging and adding to the record. We will generate questions about Oak Park and the Chicago area, neighborhoods, parks, public art, streets and transportation, or whatever line of local inquiry participants choose, and work together to compile potential sources to answer them using the expertise of local media and our family, friends, and neighbors.
