More than 70 creative practitioners hailing from Chicago and beyond will partake in the biennial’s neighborhood-spanning fifth edition kicking off September 21.

The initial show in the new space ponders the architecture of reparations in the city’s Bronzeville neighborhood.

David Brown has been named artistic director for The Available City.

Pushing the limits on the definition of practice, curators commissioned participants from fields beyond those typically represented in architectural expositions.

Some 80 contributors from across the globe will present work, much of it new, that investigates how architecture relates to land, memory, rights, and civic participation.

This year’s contributors hail from 19 countries across the globe.

The 2019 event, which kicks off September 19, will consider questions of land, memory, rights, and civic participation while embracing a broad range of perspectives on architecture.
