2018 Chicago Prize Competition: Crossing the Line

Setting the stage: The Weft proposes an east-west connection in the Bronzville’s neighborhood to integrate art and learning into the public realm for creative collaboration. The proposal approaches the neighborhood of Bronzville as a community of actors. The project re-assigns 8 parks as “stages” that connect east-west from Lake Michigan to the White Sox Stadium. By re-envisioning the neighborhood’s public spaces where the community serve as protagonists in the life and performance of the neighborhood, this project seeks to reinvigorate creativity and arts into the daily lives of how people
experience the city.
