Join Public Media Institute for the first in-person How To Make a Scene conversation. This panel discussion features moderator, Anthony Stepter (Programs Director at ACRE) speaking with panelists Carlos Arango (former executive director of Casa Aztlan, president of Frente Nacional De Inmigrantes), Ed Marszewski (Founding Director of Public Media Institute and President of Marz Brewing), and Felicia Grant Preston (artist and co-founder of Sapphire & Crystals, member Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Chicago Alumnae Chapter).
How to Make a Scene is a conversation series about artist-run cultural ecosystems of the 1980s and 1990s in Chicago. The series launched June 20th on Lumpen Radio, and continues through October with more radio broadcasts and live conversations. A collaborative effort between Public Media Institute and MdW, the project aims to connect veteran artist organizers with those working today through a combination of intimate events at Co-Prosperity, broadcasts on Lumpen Radio, and live streams on LumpenTV. The series offers audiences trailheads for further exploration of Chicago’s storied history of alternative gallery spaces, independent publications, and socially engaged collectives.
