Storyline Transports: Shadow and Light Festival is a public art performance initiative within the Chicago metropolitan area. Using converted automobiles (two pick-up trucks and a van) as physical and symbolic vehicles, this mobile festival delivers a novel art experience to Chicago’s diverse communities.

Festival Dates and Locations

Public Locations:
August 20th – Experimental Station (Hyde Park) 5-8pm
www.experimentalstation.org/

Community Locations (archi-treasures Sites):

Through a collaboration with archi-treasures, a non-profit, arts-based community development organization, the festival reaches neighborhoods which are under-served by traditional arts programing. The festival aims to create an engaging and interactive experience for these communities through shadow puppet theater and paper arts. A hands-on puppet making workshop, a paper lantern making workshop, a video screening, and a collaborative lantern installation allow attendees to share in creative story telling. Converted trucks are used to transport the festival throughout the city. The workshops are directed toward all age groups.
