CANOPY(2019)

Overview

The majestic cottonwood tree at 1330 South Pulaski has witnessed many events, sad and happy, experienced by the community of North Lawndale, now celebrating its 150th anniversary. CANOPY highlights the stories of Permapark, one of the latest developments at 1330, and of other addresses in the neighborhood where high-schoolers, college students, their mentors and teachers work with community organizers, designers, experts, planners, realtors and artists, including cellist Yo-Yo Ma and sculptor Pedro Reyes, to preserve the quality of life and make it accessible to all.
