SUMMARY:Abby Paj Tries to Stay Alive at The Neo-Futurists Theater
DESCRIPTION:Abby Paj Tries to Stay Alive is a solo show written and performed by Neo-Futurist Ensemble Member\, Abby Pajakowski. \nThe doomsday clock ticks 89 seconds to midnight and the world seems to already be ending each day. Some stockpile beans\, some stockpile guns\, and some bury themselves underground to wait for it to all blow over. Meanwhile\, Abby Paj avoids the doctor\, stays in bed\, and writes “make a go-bag” on every to-do list for a year and a half. Join Abby as they dive into apocalypses\, preparation\, depression\, and maybe doing a bunch of push-ups with a backpack on. Watch as they try to stay alive in any – no\, every way possible.

SUMMARY:Bridging The Divide: Making & Mending at South Asia Institute
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a moderated community conversation exploring how artists of South Asia and the diaspora navigate careers at the intersection of art and disability. This event invites participants into a community-building experience that highlights the resilience of artists with disabilities working in creative fields that are often not designed with accessibility in mind.

Please RSVP to receive a zoom link morning of the event. Mask-wearing is strongly encouraged in person. \nThis program is supported by a Healing IL grant from the Field Foundation and Illinois Humanities.

SUMMARY:Former Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:What if we could redefine leadership? What if kindness came first? \nThe Right Honourable Dame Jacinda Ardern was elected the 40th Prime Minister of New Zealand at the age of thirty-seven\, becoming the country’s youngest Prime Minister in more than 150 years. Ardern exemplifies a new kind of leadership — proving that leaders can be caring\, empathetic\, and effective. After becoming a global icon\, she’s ready to share the remarkable story of how a Mormon girl plagued by self-doubt made political history and changed our assumptions of what a global leader can be. \nJoined by special guests\, Ardern will reflect on the struggles\, triumphs\, and deeply personal experiences that shaped her leadership style and what she’s learned along the way.
