Super duper #latepost: last Saturday, I spent the morning painting with the community at the North Lawndale 5k. It was lots of fun! Thanks for inviting me out @vzchicago @planning_muse! 🎨🎨🎨

Hey there! Sometimes, change is good and we'd say this one is the best thing since sliced bread! We've changed our name from JKLM Artistry to Urban Art Dreams! Now, when looking for fun artsy stuff to do, remember the new name. We'll celebrate the change over the next couple of months - stay tuned! Lots of new dopeness to come! #urbanartdreams
Painted with the community during the #northlawndale5k with @vzchicago! Great time, amazing art! Thanks for painting with me! 🎨💕
Yesterday's Celebration Day at #Overton was even more amazing than I imagined. @mauricioforeroart and I collaborated on such an amazing exhibit! Our room was filled constantly with folks building and painting. Seeing people engaging with our installation was magical. Thank you Mauricio, for your wisdom, creativity, and openness to share your talents with the world - you're amazing! Thank you @paolaaguirreserrano for the opportunity to join you for this event and for building such a dope network of artists from so many backgrounds- you are the bomb dot com! Thank you to all my friends and colleagues that supported the artists and our work. And thank you to the new friends I made during this journey! Thank you to the community for being so welcoming and for embracing the re-adaptation of Overton. Thank you to @ghianforeman for seeing the beauty in this building, and the potential of it and its future. This was such a great experience and I really hope to continue this type of artistic, community-based placemaking in the future!
Come celebrate #AnthonyOverton (one of the 50 closed CPS buildings) and reminisce about your educational beginnings with an artistic flare with myself and @mauricioforeroart this Saturday, 9/22, 4pm-9pm Do you have books that you'd like to donate? Bring them to Overton so they may be added to our art exhibit and also put to use by someone else! Visit the link in my bio to register. Its free! Hope to see you there! Brought to you by: @borderless_studio @paolaaguirreserrano @ghianforeman
Come hang with me! I'll be here 9/21! Friday, September 21, 2018. 6pm- 8pm. NO RSVP NEEDED FOR THIS EVENT MAS Context, Borderless Studio, and The Night Gallery are orgazning an event titled “In Your City by the Lake: A Collaborative Chicago Playlist” on Friday, September 21 at the Commons of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (220 E Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60611).
I'll be on a panel next Wednesday (8/15) with the amazing @tonikaj and Dr. Mary Pattillo! Come listen to a great convo about how Tonika Johnson's Folded Map Project may (re)shape identities and political realities. The project connects residents who live at corresponding addresses in the North and South Side neighborhoods of Chicago. By documenting architectural aspects of the neighborhoods and conversations between residents, the project demonstrates how a city of renowned institutions and robust tourism is also a city that struggles with issues of racial inequality and segregation. CHICAGO CULTURE LAB presents Map & Meaning: A conversation with - Dr. Mary Pattillo, Harold Washington Professor of Sociology and African Studies, Northwestern University Katanya Raby, Southside based Urban Planner and artist, Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning Tonika Johnson, Artist & Creator of Folded Map Registration link in my bio!
A missing leg doesn't stop the show. I'm really a flamingo in disguise anyway.
Got to pick out a classroom at #Overton for a future urban planning/art focused installation. Still thinking out the possibilities. Will need a team of folks to help realize the vision. Working alongside other planners/designers/artists to maximize the dopeness of this temporary space.
