Reclaiming the Chicago River – Backward River Festival

The Eleanor Boathouse at Park 571 is located at 2828 S. Eleanor St., Chicago, IL 60608.

Come reclaim your water and foster a sense of joy and community through dance, music, food and connection.
Together we will uplift the voices and narratives of those whose lives and communities have been disrupted as private interests manipulate the river—even reversing its flow—to their will, and reimagine what’s possible in moving forward with the Chicago River.

Towards a Cultural History of Early Modern Ichthyology (1500-1800) – Paul Smith Florike Egmond

Online – Link to Zoom will be sent later by email, upon registration

Fish have always been part and parcel of human civilisation. In a material sense, fish was (and is) omnipresent in our everyday life – from fishery to kitchen. At the same time, fish lead a hidden life, underwater, invisible to man. This paradoxical combination of familiarity and unfamiliarity with aquatic life continues to trigger our fascination, which is manifest not only in fish symbolism, both religious and secular, but also in the European imagery of remote worlds from the Nordic seas to the Far East and tropical West, and in the development of science, from early modern natural history to modern marine biology.
