Join Public Media Institute for the second in a series of in-person How To Make a Scene conversations. Moderated by artist, educator, writer, and radical community arts organizer Jen delos Reyes, the discussion features Joanne Aono (Director of the alternative art project, Cultivator – Chicago Art Exhibitions & Farm Art Projects) along with Brian Holmes and Claire Pentecost (Watershed Art and Ecology, Chicago). This conversation between four artist organizers focused on ecologies takes place, fittingly, in the “Ecologies” section of the exhibition In Concert with Jen delos Reyes, showcasing the work of delos Reyes and her collaborators for the past 20+ years.
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.
