Blok By Blok Chicago

This seventh season of Blok by Blok was inspired by conversations with one of Chicago skateboard legends Jesse Neuhaus (@jesse_t_neuhaus.) Wave Function as he calls it, is an ideal monument that you admire from afar, maybe hop, ride or simply sit on it. Even though Jesse is not in these recorded conversations, his ideals and great perspective triggered this ongoing conversation about public space, and monuments reinterpretation. Initially these conversations took place in Skateparks around the city in Spring and Summer of 2021. Most recently these dialogues moved to multiple projects from the Chicago Architecture Biennial 2021 (@chicagoarchitecturebiennial.) Wave Function is an itinerant live Podcast around the city inspired by these conversations. This episode is brought to you as part of Night out in the Parks from the Chicago Park District. Conversations among Allison, Michael, August, Jadi, and Samuel. Produced by Blok by Blok. Edited by Timothy McNulty. Original music by Sam from Beat by Beat.
