Myth of the Organic City

Myth of the Organic City draws from Chicago’s seal which proclaims “Urbs In Horto” or “City in a Garden” as a projection of environmental custodianship. However, Chicago has been designed and constructed in often inequitable and unsustainable ways, with cycles of dispossession and dislocation of nature and people. The exhibition pairs a broad historical overview with contemporary artworks that reimagine our complicated relationship with the City and nature. 

Opening Celebration: Sunday, September 22 from 3-7 PM with At Ease? performance by Pruthvis Dangat

Myth of the Organic City is part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art that highlights the city’s artistic heritage and creative communities.
