North Pond Activity Report

We need to make it so that when we die, our children can live in a world where there are still beautiful parks, ponds, forests, etc. How sad would it be if future generations didn’t have the opportunity to see the beauty of nature. All because we destroyed it or didn’t do enough to protect it. It would be a real shame. Cleaning the pond made me feel like I was making

    DJ Cannonball’s weighty statement gets at the specificity of place and the spatial capital that came with having an apartment large enough to host South Shore house parties. It is possible that Black gay males were in search of apartments in South Shore because they offered the space needed for their parities as well as a closeness to and connection within the emerging community. This was a spatial network connected to racial, sexual, and class identity that offered the sort of interconnectedness between bodies and souls that I constantly noticed and felt as a Black Chicagoan during my observations at the various parties I attended with the Black house community. These were spaces where someone felt, included, acknowledged, welcomed, and linked through a synergistic energy that permeated the walls and bodies of those present. This is why house spaces are particularly crucial and require meticulous insights to ensure that the space feels like a house that becomes home for many.…
