About the program
Join the artistic directors of Chicago-based Floating Museum—Andrew Schachman, Faheem Majeed, and Jeremiah Hulsebos-Spofford—for an expansive conversation about design as an iterative process to explore architecture, cities, and the social, ecological, economic, and political forces that shape them.
The Floating Museum served as artistic directors of the 2023 Chicago Architecture Biennial, This is a Rehearsal, which invited audiences to consider cities as a continuous process rather than an enduring object. This conversation marks the release of the catalogue for This is a Rehearsal, which documents and interprets the contributions of 80 local and global participants whose work challenged conventional understandings of how cities function, who plays a role in shaping them, and how proposed solutions might respond to the overlapping crises of contemporary life.
This event is presented in collaboration with Chicago Humanities as part of its day-long series of programs at Illinois Tech.
