Beyond land acknowledgments, what are meaningful ways we can practice solidarity with the land, and those who steward it?

Join the National Public Housing Museum and our partners to build solidarity through poetry, stories, and conversations about land, stewardship, and belonging. 

This workshop is presented in conjunction with Still Here: Stories of Displacement (through July 6, 2025) and is a public extension of the ongoing process to create a land acknowledgment for the National Public Housing Museum.  

FREE. Lunch is included. Please register in advance


Community Conversations

This workshop is the first in a series of three Community Conversations sponsored by Illinois Humanities, focusing on the theme of “A Place in the World,” which reminds us that the places where we live and work shape and are shaped by ideas, people, resources, histories, and events around the world—often in unexpected and curious ways.


Still Here is part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art that aims to expand understanding of Chicago’s creative communities, past and present.
