Theaster Gates: How to revive a neighborhood: with imagination, beauty and art

  • Beauty

Theaster Gates, a potter by training and a social activist by calling, wanted to do something about the sorry state of his neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. So he did, transforming abandoned buildings to create community hubs that connect and inspire those who still live there (and draw in those who don’t). In this passionate talk, Gates describes his efforts to build a “miniature Versailles” in Chicago, and he shares his fervent belief that culture can be a catalyst for social transformation in any city, anywhere.

    If the “hood” wanted to “un-hood” themselves they have to start with
    themselves. the “gangsta” thug social/cultural engineering they have so
    willingly accepted as their self and community destructive self own.
    Getting all “hippy” arts and craftsy isnt bad. Even if its not original,
    why not? The “ghetto” is a shithole only because the inhabitants destroyed
    it. Now fix it

    We need to change our society focus from ‘growth’ to a more balanced one of
    ‘sustainability’ and Mr. Gates and his community are addressing this
    problem the right way. Bravo!

    IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME!

    Congratulations on both your efforts, which are unusual to find any effort
    in the hood, and your success.
    May it continue to THRIVE!

    BURNING is the fastest way to cheer up a neighborhood (free fireworks!!)
    and to bring down abandoned houses.
    And yeah…. I’m from Detroit, the most interesting city in America.

    Jokes aside, reviving the buildings don’t matter. It’s the people in the
    neighborhood. When they are poor, they are in no mood of enjoying ART. They
    are only in the mood of FINDING NEXT MEAL or something they can take for
    next meal. In fact, if you make your house beautiful in the hood, you just
    make yourself a target.

    Imagination, beauty, and art? Well, I would have suggested that the ghetto
    creatures just get jobs and have some self respect, but whatever works, I
    guess.

    What do we do with neighborhoods that people don’t want to live in? Listen
    to Theaster Gates talk about How to Revive a Neighborhood – starting with
    IMAGINING what else could happen.

    This is beautiful and how I see societies transform 🙂 Not through some
    governmental policy but by people taking inspired action, following their
    hearts.. that’s when magic happens.

    WHY REVIVE?
    Abandoned neighborhoods are themselves ART, BEAUTY, and HISTORY.
    Imagine visiting an abandoned hood, observing its people, and admiring its
    glorious past. It’s like a living MUSEUM!!
