The 2021 Chicago Architecture Biennial traces its roots back to a groundbreaking 2006 CAC (then Chicago Architecture Foundation) exhibit, Learning from North Lawndale: Past, Present and Future. Revisit the making of the exhibit and explore the richness of the North Lawndale neighborhood.

The original CAC exhibition examined the movements that dominated past eras: the growth of local industry, the religious and residential life, the thriving entertainment and the people who made up the fabric of this neighborhood.

A host of speakers, including Learning from North Lawndale: Past, Present and Future Curator and 2021 Chicago Architecture Biennial Artistic Director David Brown, bring their unique perspectives to the conversation.
