Music transcends culture and translates across any language barrier. Elvis's story proves that connecting with people is the great equalizer between city and small-town living, especially when music is involved. As a biologist, photographer, and musician, Elvis brings his whole self wherever he goes, and it always leads to fast friends, good times, and a few new memories.

The interplay facilitated by founder and executive director Theaster Gates Jr. provides a backdrop that challenges conventional rhythms of community and connects people through activation, cultivation, and validation of Art in Chicago.

Curate curiosity is a podcast built on the idea that strong community comes from exploring and experiencing life together.
2020 is a year that will live in infamy for us all, but this year will be forever marked by the impact of organizers. From black lives matter to supporting the largest voter turnout in US history, local and national community organizing has fueled new waves of old movements to affirm and secure long denied dignities and rights. This episode is the first of a two part conversation with Paris Fresh. Today, we’ll dive into who Paris is and what led up to her years as a community organizer in Chicago and elsewhere.
What is community?
Author Richard Millington Says,
"You can classify every type of community by the purpose that brings them together. […] Interest, Action, Place, Practice, Circumstance."

-Jessica Oladapo; Diversity 2 Inclusion, Inc.
“If we reduce human beings to being simply physical—as Western thought is prone to do—our poverty-alleviation efforts will tend to focus on material solutions. But if we remember that humans are spiritual, social, psychological, and physical beings, our poverty-alleviation efforts will be more holistic in their design and execution.” ― Steve Corbett, When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor .

Part two of our #GoandTell on Big and Little’s Restaurant focuses on their premier dish: The coveted and delicious soft shell crab 🦀. We also provide ratings and rationales for the experience we share after highlighting just a piece of what @bignlittleschi has to offer. #curatecuriosity #chicago #seafood #buylocal
In this compilation of mini episodes on farmers markets, we jump into the experience of @9gabby1 and other customers in Logan Square. We examine the uniqueness and impact of the @lsfarmersmarket through the eyes of the consumer and the community.
Locally sourced, ethically produced, and affordable for the community all explain why people in Chicago choose @lsfarmersmarket from week to week even during the pandemic.
One customer compares farmers markets to schools. As schools provide intellectual health via enrichment and quality education, markets supply products that promote physical health and stimulate local economies. Both types of health are essential for the wellness of any community.

Go and Tell:
‘Go and Tells’ are closer looks at local eats, treats, and events happening around Chicago. This “Go and Tell’ is with my sister Jasmine. Today we’re setting our sights on a place that everyone in Little Italy and the surrounding neighborhoods should know: ‘Mario’s Italian Lemonade’. This old school Italian ice shop uses fresh ingredients to provide a variety of sweet treats to beat Chicago’s summer heat. Pop over to Taylor Street to get your Mario’s today!
