The video above has been compiled from materials and archival images generously shared by the American Indian Center and Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society.&#38;nbsp;During Winter 2021, narration of the video was recorded with Grayson Alexander, Isabella Chamberland, and Edelawite Sasahulih of the 49th Ward Youth Council. 
The video has been shared at 1224 W Loyola in Spring 2020, and was subsequently on view as a part of the Summer 2020 exhibition Birchbark, Wiigwaas at Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society, featuring new work by Nora Moore Lloyd. The video was also featured as a part of Moore Lloyd’s installation for human / nature: the weight of our actions on the natural world at the Illinois State Museum in 2021-2022.

Experimental Sound Studio is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization dedicated to artistic evolution and the creative exploration of sound. 
As an international hub for sonic experimentation, ESS nurtures artists, cultivates new works, and builds a broad, supportive community of makers, enthusiasts, and creative partners through production, presentation, education, and preservation. Collaboration and resource sharing propel ESS’s activities. Our Edgewater facility is home to a full-service recording, mixing, and mastering studio; Audible Gallery, a small public space for exhibitions, meetings, workshops, performances, and artists’ projects; a beautiful garden for performances and gathering; and the Creative Audio Archive—an invaluable collection of recordings and ephemera related to avant-garde and exploratory sound and music of the last seven decades. For more information, please visit ess.org.One’s Position (and a route) is supported by grants from the Illinois Arts Council Agency; Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation; Reva and David Logan Foundation; Teiger Foundation; with in-kind support from Chicago Park District. The individual projects featured in this exhibition are a part of Navigations. Roman Susan launched Navigations during the pandemic to support artists creating expansive works in Chicago neighborhoods. Navigations are designed to be open-ended, multisensory, and widely accessible. New projects for the Navigations program are selected through open proposals. If you have an idea for a project, tell us who you are, what you do, and the experience you want to share.Ten Must-See Shows &#124; Chicago Reader - April 3, 2026

soccer islandBerger Park Cultural Center Theater6215 N Sheridan Road, Chicago IL
ReadingsFriday, June 12 at 7 PMSaturday, June 13 at 2 PM Written and Directed by Gabriel Chalfin-Piney-GonzálezPerformed by Rosé Hernandez, Amari Amai, Zachary Nicol, and Fionn Casper-StraussTwo young people are on a soccer field, held up by a pole in the middle, one of those humid late summer afternoons. The platform of the field appears to balance, like a golf ball on a tee. The pole travels down about a hundred feet below the field before getting lost in the ocean and travels up about ten or so feet through the middle of the field, like a newly planted tree. There are no landmarks around, the field balances alone in the ocean. At times, the platform seems motionless, floating, other times it teeters back and forth guided by the breeze, always managing to come back to center. There are a few prominent holes in the field. The holes have been patched up with the netting from the soccer goals. A chicken bounces on the netting, high above the ocean.

What to Keep?

(a talk circle guided by Carole McCurdy) Berger Park Cultural Center6205 N Sheridan Road, Chicago IL


Spring SessionsWednesday, June 3 from 4-6 PMWednesday, June 17 from 4-6 PM
We all own physical items—clothing, photographs, mementos, to name a few—that we aren't sure what to do with. We may no longer use or even see them on a regular basis. Some may feel burdensome and hard to think about.
This is an invitation to talk about such items, to think aloud about what you want or need to keep . . . and what you want or need to let go of. Our supportive talk circle will encourage discussion of:
things that hold stories about you or loved ones;things that you’ve intended to sift through (and maybe discard) for a long time, but it’s been too overwhelming;things that you absolutely need to hold on to, or save for others;things that are hiding away in storage, and who even knows what they are; things that you’ve already discarded, and how you managed it.
The goal is to share our experiences and ideas without any judgment, advice, or insistence on solutions. Talking and listening together may help us find our individual solutions at our own pace. In other words, no pressure! If you can, please bring an item you’d like to talk about, or a photo of it. If you have questions, please reach out to us!

		<description>Community-Hosted Art Collections

Roman Susan Art Foundation assembles exploratory art collections in order to place contemporary works of art in the lives of local residents. Community members help maintain and expand the collections, hosting the work, and sharing it with family, friends, and neighbors at their home. At regular intervals, the art is transferred to another host, circulating the works throughout our community. New artwork (and new collections) will be added periodically, putting art in more homes, expanding the narrative from household to household.&#38;nbsp;If you are interested in hosting work, please visit romansusan.org/host.
The first collection 
 
RS1 consists of works donated by the Roman Susan board of directors. 
Vexillum, the second collection, shares artist-made flags and banners. A third collection Foundation features work from artists featured in Roman Susan programming for each year 2012 to present.

		<description>COSMiC SERPENTSpring and Autumn 2025
COSMiC SERPENT is an interdimensional being. It is not knowable but shows glimpses of its infinite manifestations. . . . a 12-to-20-person costume with separate eyes, tongue, and rattling tail! Surrounding COSMiC SERPENT are cosmic entities: planets, shooting stars, clouds and creatures of the cosmos. Together we celebrate the ultramundane!


&#60;img width="3128" height="1912" width_o="3128" height_o="1912" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/53e0515eb7a4b7b5653dde7b804a9c5182a7b931dd0ba9187716fbcd6fcd9e88/Screenshot-2025-05-13-at-1.31.34PM.png" data-mid="233169708" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/53e0515eb7a4b7b5653dde7b804a9c5182a7b931dd0ba9187716fbcd6fcd9e88/Screenshot-2025-05-13-at-1.31.34PM.png" /&#62;
The first manifestation of&#38;nbsp;COSMiC SERPENT was created through a collaboration by spectacle-maker Blue Lady and Roman Susan founder Kristin Abhalter. The project debuted at Mayday 2025 in Minneapolis, Minneasota. Roman Susan traveled to the Twin Cities with Great Lakes aritsts and paraders 
Aaron Cody, Molly E, Danielle Euer, Eliza Fernand, Yelena Kalinsky, Elaine Lemieux, Siobhan Leonard, Nathan Margoni, blake nemec, Andy O’Connor, Lara Oppenheimer, Sara Zalek, and Fancy.

maydaympls.org:&#38;nbsp;Our Mayday celebration began in 1974, initiated and shepherded by In the Heart of the Beast Theatre (HOBT) as an annual event with broad community participation. For nearly 50 years HOBT enacted the Mayday Parade, the Tree of Life Ceremony, and the Festival in Powderhorn Park. In April 2023, HOBT announced that it would no longer produce Mayday, and “released it” to the community. 
Now, in 2025, there is no single organization producing Mayday; the Parade is built by decentralized community groups hosting puppet-making workshops and the Semilla Center for Healing and the Arts is sponsoring an artistic cohort and workshops to create the Tree of Life Ceremony. Festivities in Powderhorn Park following the Parade will be quite different than in HOBT years, with no organized food trucks or large music stages. You are encouraged to bring picnics and enjoy the beautiful park.
