Screening Thursday, May 21 at 7 PM
Join us for a screening of Two Summers on Hayes Avenue, a documentary examining the relationship between Rogers Park and Loyola University, looking to the future on how the university can better support the community, and how the community can better examine issues of gentrification and displacement in light of the current environment. A discussion will follow the screening.
Two Summers on Hayes Avenue is a project created by the production team of Tess Lacy, Lauren Sims, Elias Eshu, Emery Arevalo, Jo Swan, Nathan Yuen, Tenzin Chozom, and Dominic Bonelli, with Justin Anderson, Tara Lewis, Hnin Thazin, Soloman, Vince Ahmadi. Screening discussions are imagined in partnership with the ONE Northside housing justice team, as well as other organizations around the city working for tenants rights and fighting rising rents, and educators in local public schools.
This event is being shared as part of Movement Studies – a programming series investigating social and environmental transitions. This project is partially supported by grants from the Illinois Arts Council Agency; Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation; Reva and David Logan Foundation; Teiger Foundation; and through in-kind support from Chicago Park District.
