This week’s feature is on the redevelopment of Hyde Park’s Harper Court, which aims to turn the 45-year-old retail complex into a mixed-use district over the next five years. Also in this week’s issue: a look at the community garden at 65th and Woodlawn, which brings neighbors together and produces fresh produce in an area often labeled a food desert. Yah’s Cuisine gives Soul Veg a run for its money as the best vegan soul food on the South Side. The University of Chicago’s MFA candidates display their work at the DOVA Temporary gallery in Hyde Park and Roxaboxen in Pilsen. This Saturday, the fifth annual Art in Action festival brings together UofC students and Woodlawn community members for a day of free food, art, and workshops. The Woodlawn Children’s Promise Zone aims to duplicate the success of the famed Harlem Children’s Zone. And Russian artists Ilya and Emilie Kabakov got their first glimpse of clips from a new documentary about themselves at the UofC’s Film Studies Center last week.
