Rethinking Soup: Designing for Social Change [event]

August 20, 2013 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Free

The Jane Addams Hull-House Museum presents its flagship program, Re-thinking Soup, at the Chicago Cultural Center. We’ll peruse Spontaneous Interventions, which highlights designers who have responded to issues faced by urban communities and enjoy delicious soup and conversation together. Our featured guests will speak to the role of graphic design in creating social change. About Re-thinkingSoup: No force on the globe brings people together on a daily basis with the same consistency and manner than the cultivation, preparation, and eating of food. For more than a century, Hull-House has worked to nourish people and teach the importance of nutrition while linking these issues with an historical commitment to peace, democracy, economic, and cultural sustainability. For the past 5 years thousands of visitors have sat, sipped soup and broke bread with us as activists, farmers, doctors, economists, artists, and guest chefs joined each month to present their knowledge, ideas, and projects and foster a space where we can move toward solutions.

Space is limited; those wishing to attend must register in advance at:  http://aug20rethinkingsoup.eventbrite.com/

This event is a collaboration with the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, which explores concerns about labor, women’s rights, and other social concerns.
