Los Angeles designer, educator and S.I. exhibitor James Rojas has conducted creative placemaking workshops all over the country, and this edition in Chicago will similarly engage the collective community imagination to create an interactive diorama of the city—Chicago as it could be. Participants will be provided with thousands of small, colorful, vibrant, and tactile objects to place on a model of downtown Chicago. Open to people of all ages participants are invited to reflect on, explore, experiment, and ultimately craft their ideal city.
