About this Event

What does freedom in Chicago feel like, look like, taste like, sound like? 

HOME [House of My Experiences] PARTY is a community-driven arts gathering that blends the energy of a Chicago house party with collaborative art-making, performance, and mutual aid. It’s the first in a citywide series of events co-created by artists and organizers to build connection across Chicago through creative expression and collective community care. 

Co-hosted by Firehouse Community Arts Center, this first party explores the theme of Freedom in Chicago through Speech, Spirit + Space— ideas shaped directly by community members  across North Lawndale, Pilsen, Bronzeville, Hyde Park, and Woodlawn through a year of artistic conversations facilitated by Inheritance Theater Project (ITP).

The event will feature intergenerational collaborations between local artists, activists, and Firehouse Artist-Collaborators, sharing their interpretations of these themes through visual art, performance, food, music, and mutual aid.


🕺🏾What to Expect
  • Engage with interactive art and reflective spaces to think, feel, share and add your perspectives to the party
  • Experience live performances by local artists who’ve been a part of the ITP devising process in the last year.
  • Groove to house music that celebrates Chicago’s cultural roots
  • Enjoy delicious snacks made with the culinary team at the Firehouse
  • Participate in a mutual aid Marketplace facilitated by Kola Nut Collaborative

¿A qué sabe, suena, se ve y se siente la libertad en Chicago?

HOME [House of My Experiences] PARTY es un encuentro artístico impulsado por la comunidad que combina la energía de una fiesta casera de Chicago con creación artística colaborativa, presentaciones en vivo y un enfoque de ayuda mutua. Es el primero de una serie de eventos en toda la ciudad, co-creados por artistas y organizadores para fomentar la conexión entre barrios de Chicago a través de la expresión creativa y el cuidado comunitario colectivo.
