about

"Envisioning Green Cityscapes" happened at the Jane Addams Hull-House on February 13, 2015. This program -- which explored themes such as green urbanism, clean energy, and participatory creativity -- included performance, poetry, music, film, and visual art:

* Carey Lundin talked about "Jens Jensen The Living Green" -- being inspired to turn Jensen's life into a plan of social action. A clip from the film was screened.

* Corey Hagelberg showed examples of his artworks -- including prints that respond to the oil industry's presence in northwestern Indiana, which is also one of the most biologically diverse regions of the country. He also talked about how his art making practice relates to his connections with nature in an urban setting (Gary, IN).

* "An Evening at the Ecopolis: Rethinking Chicago as a Regenerative City" with Jeff Biggers and musical ensemble -- Angel Elmore (clarinet, keyboard), Adam Zanolini (flute, saxophone, electric bass), Tim Bonbonfera Keenan (percussion) and Dan Godston (cornet, small instruments).

* A presentation about AREA Chicago’s Issue #15 was given. That issue’s theme is “Healing,” including topics such as interspecies perspectives; the health of soil and water; microbial communities; ecology and climate catastrophe; energy descent; … and many others.

* A collaboratively written mesostic poem with the through-line "Urbs in Horto" was created while the program progressed. ("Urbs in horto," a Latin phrase that means "City in a garden," is Chicago's motto.)
