Interview 58

in ,

It's been an exciting week! I completed the 58th interview last Tuesday with Petra Bachmaier of Luftwerk. Have you had a chance to check out solarise at the Garfield Conservatory? I highly recommend seeing it. They have several incredible installations inside and outside the facility. Portal is probably one of the most sublime pieces I've ever seen. solarise is up until the end of September 2016.

I know I've mentioned this before but one of my favorite writers and participants for this project, Lucy Knisley, is releasing a book in May. The trailer that she created is here: http://lucyknisley.tumblr.com/post/141902628439/the-new-animated-book-trailer-for-something-new

I also checked out Nora Moore Lloyd's work at the Thompson Center. The week long exhibition on Native American art was really lovely. Congratulations to Nora!

Joyce Owens, painter and sculptor, will be showing some of her constructions at Gallery Guichard in Bronzeville and the Cultivator Gallery in Ravenswood this month.

That's all for now!

I completed 56 interviews today. I met with the extraordinary Ruth Kaufman, voice over and on camera talent and a romance novelist. It was an insightful conversation.

We are getting close to the end of the interview portion. Only a few more interviews in the works! Soon I'll begin the editing and promotion process for the final product. So stay tuned!

Upcoming events and projects by women in the project:

Shanta Nurullah, storyteller and musician, will be performing in Classic Black: Southern Roots, Urban Migrations at the Pegasus Theater on Friday, March 25 at 7:30. The Theater at the Chicago Dramatists is at 1105 W. Chicago Avenue, Suite 202. The admission is $10. You should check it out.

Lucy Knisley will be publishing her book: Something New: Tales from a Makeshift Bride on May 3 about her experiences planning her wedding. I'm really keen to read this since I love Knisley's work and I have strong feelings about wedding planning. You can preorder  it  here: http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781626722491

That's all for now!
