Curbing Domestic Violence with The Allstate Foundation and Catharsis Productions

At this CIW Lab, join The Allstate Foundation and Catharsis Productions for a powerful reality check into the problem of domestic violence in America. Domestic abuse affects people of all walks of life, and goes much further than physical violence—financial abuse is the primary reason women stay and return to abusive relationships. Look into the most common reasons why people blame victims and support alleged abusers, and then dismantle those arguments through an application of myth-busting logic. This insightful program helps participants evaluate their internal biases and make sure they are helping curb domestic violence and support victims in the most impactful and sensitive way possible.

Public Work Performance with Knoll Furniture

People are moving to cities in greater numbers than ever before, posing both challenges and opportunities related to new levels of density, resilient infrastructures, as well as new forms of civic engagement at all levels. These changes at an urban scale impact how and where public life happens and how it interacts with the new work experience. That experience sits at the intersection of theater, hospitality, play and performance. Join Knoll and the Rockwell Group at this CIW Lab for a look into this intersection within a public space, and engage in theater, play and hospitality and how they can enrich the public work performance within a very public space—the Amphitheater of the Merchandise Mart.

If you don’t have a background in music, don’t fret—this Lab is for everyone!
