Justice Hotel at 6018North EXPO
September 19 - September 22, 2019 at Navy Pier for EXPO Chicago
We invite you to ‘check into’ justice by speaking with our concierges and receiving healing services as part of our experimental hotel at 6018North for the duration of the Chicago Architecture Biennial. The hotel and its programming consists of conversational dinners, film screenings, performances, and healing services – curated by our concierges – to embody ideas and actions that promote justice, one room at a time. Justice Hotel at 6018North is an experiment. Employing a co-op model of ownership, we are testing out ways of living and working together that benefit all. Your experience helps inform our cooperative enterprise in shaping justice.
Expo Concierges: Wisdom Baty, Caroline K Ng, Ciera Mckissick, Lauren Pacheco, Asha Iman Veal, and Ji Yang.
