1968/2008

Sponsored by the local research and culture publication AREA Chicago in order to explore the legacy of the late 1960s/early 1970s on contemporary cultural and political organizations in their city, the project also have other nodes outside of Chicago. It will take place in numerous places including events, publications, reading groups and a website.

As always, AREA’s focus will be Chicago, but we’d like to create a network of people in other places working on projects in a similar spirit. The AREA 68 blog will serve as a clearinghouse to circulate announcements, reflections, links, debates, and documentation. Based on proposals sent to AREA at areachicago@gmail.com by Feb. 15, we will invite a limited number of participants to co-author the blog. Others will be invited to send us links and other content for posting. Other forms of participation are possible: if you have something else in mind, please let us know. If you will be in Chicago in 2008, please let us know that too.

Proposals should be no more than 300 words including brief bio and description of projects(s). They can include documentation (image files, etc.) but the proposal should be comprehensible on its own.
