UPSWELL 2019
Chicago
Nov. 13-15, 2019
At the end of Upswell LA, we shared a note that said, “In 2019, the wave grows stronger.” Our ambition is for the Upswell community to continue strengthening in size, representation, engagement, energy, and impact every year.
Chicago showed what’s possible when we aim higher.

Chicago Inside & Out Tours
Austin / Lawndale Tour
The predominantly African-American neighborhoods of Austin and Lawndale on Chicago’s West Side were once thriving manufacturing districts. Visit a former 40-acre Sears Industrial complex in Lawndale now transformed into a community cultural center and architectural asset. Lunch at Farm on Ogden, a Chicago Botanic Garden initiative combining food, health, and jobs to support and sustain a healthy urban community. Explore issues like art spaces and practices, urban/city planning, community organizing, economic and community development, and park-space.
Back of the Yards Tour
Once the subject of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle and ground-zero for modern community organizing, Chicago’s Back of the Yards is now home to transformation demonstrating the immense potential of the adaptive reuse of legacy and historic sites to create new community cultural spaces, as well as tactical approaches to community organizing. Stops on this tour include a sustainable collaborative now operating in the once-infamous Union Stock Yards and a satellite location of a community theatre serving Chicago Southwest Side, a predominantly Latinx community.
Bridgeport Tour
Birthplace of five Chicago mayors, Bridgeport, once known for racial intolerance, is now a thriving hub of artists, entrepreneurs, and changemakers. Following a tour through cultural and commercial centers featuring local artists’ work, lunch at a local restaurant, then enjoy kayakers on the Chicago River at the Eleanor Boathouse at Park 57. Explore issues like hybrid art spaces and practices, park-space, urban/city planning, community organizing approaches, economic and community development.
Bronzeville Tour
Named the “Great Migration”, the Bronzeville community on Chicago’s South Side was the center for African-American culture and business in the 1920s-1950s. After years of decline, the community has been rebuilding, making Bronzeville a testament to the power of legacy cultural institutions and social service organizations in urban communities and tactical approaches to community organizing. Stops on this tour include The Urban Resilience Network (TURN), South Side Community Arts Center, and a unique retail space called the Bronzeville Boombox.
Chicago Lawn Tour
Home base for this Chicago Lawn tour will be Inner City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) in Chicago’s South Side, where staff and artists will illuminate challenges and solutions for designing programs for those reentering post-incarceration, reenvisioning historic spaces for community use, making public spaces, and more. Stops include the Beloved Community Ceramics Studio to learn about IMAN’s Green Reentry program and the Cornerstore Campaign, as well as the historic Marquette Park for a visit to an MLK memorial site.
Englewood Tour
Asiaha Butler of the Resident Association of Greater Englewood will lead a tour from 63rd and the Dan Ryan to the Englewood Square on 63rd & Halsted—home of AT&T, Whole Foods, Starbucks and more—then visit the RAGE Headquarters located at 66th & Union. You’ll learn of about RAGE’s efforts, recent investments, and the importance of community voice in community development. You’ll learn about the importance of community partnerships and examine the pathway grassroots organizations in Englewood leverage institutions and corporations to inform development.
Sponsored by AT&T – Believe Chicago
Greater Grand Crossing Tour
What, exactly, is a hybrid cultural economy? Best to find out in person! On this tour, you’ll experience three signature art and community centers in Washington Park developed by University of Chicago professor and visionary artist Theaster Gates. Explore the Stony Island Arts Bank, the Dorchester Art & Housing Collaborative, and the Listening House and the Archive House. Then have a meal with local creatives who are helping to lead an extraordinary new approach to transforming communities.
Hyde Park Tour
From the curious terraces of the UChicago’s Harris School of Public Policy to the catalytic spaces of the Logan Center for the Arts to the cavernous ideas incubator at the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Hyde Park blends art, innovation, and public life in mind-opening ways. And we know who comes to mind when you think of Hyde Park. So, we’ll make sure you see the future location of the Obama Presidential Library, too!
Little Village / Brighton Park Tour
This tour of two communities near Chicago’s West Side will highlight efforts focused on arts, culture, and families to show how arts practices, adaptive reuse of space, and community organizing can help a community thrive. Stops include a youth-dedicated satellite location of the National Museum of Mexican Art, an arts collaborative, a steel company campus that hosts international graffiti artists each year, and a sanctuary school that offers a variety of services for youth and families.
Loop Tour
This walking tour of Chicago’s Loop neighborhood features examples of Chicago’s built environment along the Chicago River highlighting the power of tech and engineering and adaptive reuse to create spaces that are both functional and economically viable. Stops include sites along the Chicago River and 1871—an incubator space in the 140,000-square foot Merchandise Mart managed by P33, a cross-disciplinary initiative to drive inclusive, global technology leadership in Chicago.
Pilsen Tour
Lower West Side’s Pilsen community is where Chicago’s rich tradition of architecture meets the vibrant contributions of the city’s Mexican immigrant community. As such, Pilsen is an enriching study of emerging arts practices in urban communities as well as the impact of gentrification in community development. Stops include the National Museum of Mexican Fine Art, Pilsen’s historic 18th Street, and an emerging entrepreneurial business community that’s rich with artistic and culinary diversity.
Pullman Tour
All aboard for an issues-based tour of Pullman, the 19th century neighborhood created by railcar magnate Geroge M. Pullman. Designated by President Obama as a National Monument, Pullman is a unique place to explore issues such as historic preservation, urban planning, adaptive re-use, and economic development. Among our stops: an historic apartment building that now offers affordable live/work space for artists and their families, plus a former strip mall where budding restaurateurs can launch their business within a “diverse dining collective.”
Community Dinners
Bureau Bar Dinner
Owner Kenny Johnson is a serial entrepreneur with a passion for public service. His four restaurants, including Bureau Bar, serve a community that generally doesn’t have a lot of options to frequent and patronize. The restaurants primarily employ Black and Brown people who traditionally have been locked out of this profession.
DeColores Dinner
Located in Pilsen’s dynamic Art District, DeColores is a Mexican restaurant celebrated for its award-winning Mole Pablono – made with a 20-ingredient recipe that is claimed by owners Sergio, Priscilla, and Soleil Reyes as top secret.
Inspiration Kitchens Dinner
Inspiration Kitchens has a simple philosophy – “Dine Well. Do Good.” With a belief that delicious food can change lives, founder Lisa Nigro, a former Chicago police officer, began a business designed to help Chicago community members overcome homelessness and poverty.
Marwen Dinner
Founded in 1987, Marwen offers free visual arts education to young people from Chicago’s under-resourced neighborhoods. You’ll be awed by a stunning space and inspired by the young people and artists who have built a deep community at Marwen.
Marz Community Brewing Co. Dinner
Founded on the premise that art, culture, food, and beer would (and should) be enjoyed by the community, Marz was created as a platform for ongoing experimental collaboration. You’ll hear from the Marz team about how they combined their love of craft beer with their desire to make Chicago a better place to live, work, and play.
Pearl’s Place Dinner
It might pique your curiosity to know that Pearl’s Place has deep culinary ties with the Obama Foundation, but the restaurant’s history is even more interesting. Serving the Bronzeville community and Chicagoland for more than 30 years, owner Darrell Green hires and promotes members of the community.
Sinhá Dinner
Having used her home as both a boarding house for visiting international students and an event venue for her hobby of catering, Sinhá founder Jorgina Pereira decided to do something more. She recognized the lack of restaurants in her neighborhood and embarked on the conversion of her brownstone to a mixed used zoning project, birthing a restaurant where community and camaraderie are the themes.
