Public Newsroom Artists Talk
"We’re teaming up with City Bureau; The Fest, curated by Third Coast International Audio Festival; and the Smart Museum of Art to bring contemporary local artist Norman Long to the Public Newsroom (hosted weekly by City Bureau).Long, born and raised Chicago’s South Side, will create a captivating experience that ties sound and place. We’ll be kicking off the evening early at 5:30pm with a soundwalk around Woodlawn. Long’s walks develop over time as well as space and engage audiences by reorienting their sense of site through active listening. Following the walk, Long will lead a discussion about his work and its connections to living in a neighborhood, as well as how the walks tie in with journalistic practices. Then he'll wrap up with a live sound mixing demo. We'll have drinks and snacks after the newsroom for those who want to stick around and chat. This event is part of City Bureau's #PublicNewsroom programming, a series of free, weekly workshops and discussions aimed at building trust between journalists and the communities they serve while shaping a more inclusive newsroom.It is included as part of The Fest, curated by Third Coast International Audio Festival. The Fest is a two-week lineup of events across Chicago that push the boundaries of live audio storytelling, curated by Third Coast. Check all of the shows in their 2018 lineup at www.thefestchicago.org. Lastly, it is being hosted in connection with the Smart Museum’s exhibition The Time is Now!"
