SUMMARY:Commemorative Day | Women’s History Month
DESCRIPTION:As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence this year\, we at the Chicago History Museum are centering civic action and what it takes to build and maintain democracy all year long. There are many ways we all fight for a better world\, including using the arts to make statements and fight for change. \nMarch is Women’s History Month. This year at CHM\, we’re taking this time to think more critically about the history of women making change through the arts. Join us for a day of hands-on arts-making celebrating women in history and in our own lives. Then join us in the afternoon for a dual performance of two fabulous Chicago singers\, Amy Lowe and Shawn Christopher\, as they sing us all into action! \nIncluded with general admission. \nSchedule\n11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. \nButton Making for Social Change \nCreate your own buttons to honor Women’s History Month and wear them proudly inside and outside the museum. Draw images of important people and moments in women’s history or show your support for a cause that matters to you today! Great for all ages! \nDesigning for Protest: Make Your Own Protest Sign \nChicago has a long history of protest and civic action. Figures like Ida B. Wells\, Jane Addams\, Lucy Parsons\, and Pearl Hart all engaged in civic action both in public and behind the scenes. \nShow your support for the history of women’s activism by making your own protest sign. See some examples of feminist artivism (activism + art) in our exhibition Designing for Change: Chicago Protest Art of the 1960s–70s and then come design your own protest art to let others know what matters to you! \n12:00–1:00 p.m. \nHands-On Relief Printing Workshop with Vida Sačić \nDesign your own simple typographic compositions using foam and cardboard backing\, then experiment with hand-printing techniques to produce your own prints. Learn about foundational ideas in typography and relief printmaking in an accessible and tactile way to create and print your own message. \nThis workshop is led by artist Vida Sačić\, whose current work is featured in the US at 250: Civic Action in Chicago art installation in our main lobby. \nThis workshop is designed with youth and adults alike in mind. Participants of all ages are encouraged to join. \n1:00–3:00 p.m. \nMusic Making Change: Amy Lowe and Shawn Christopher \nCelebrate women making change through the arts with back-to-back performances by two amazing musical performers\, Amy Lowe and Shawn Christopher. A fun time for people of all ages!
