A Statement about the Chicago Architecture Biennale
From its inception Now What?! has dedicated itself to showcasing the rabble-rousers, dreamers, activists, and advocates in architecture in a bid to inspire future generations to push the status quo and organize for better futures. In that spirit, we have elected to not be listed with or otherwise officially affiliated with the 2020 Chicago Architecture Biennial due to its connection with BP.
CHICAGO SUPPORTERS
This exhibition is made possible with generous support from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, HED, Studio Gang, Latent Design, Apex Design Build, and Department of Exhibitions, Performance, and Student Spaces at Columbia College Chicago.
