What does it mean to work with and in community at a national museum? Join Lisa Yun Lee, Carlos Tortolero, and Billy Ocasio, three leaders committed to a more socially just Chicago and beyond. How does a commitment to community activism, organizing, and local empowerment, and local impact inform and shape their national missions? How do the tensions and benefits of the national and local shape exhibition strategies, programming, and storytelling? Join us for a conversation at the cutting edge of institutions helping to reimagine place, space, and our collective futures in Chicago.

This free event includes a box of delicious foods from many different Chicago neighborhoods and cultures.

This is a Chicago Architecture Biennial program in partnership with the National Public Housing Museum, the National Museum of Mexican Art, and the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture.
