As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we're also taking time to consider the ways people in the United States practice democracy through civic action, including by making public art. Experience the grandness of Pilsen's murals with local poet and multidisciplinary artist Luis Tubens. As you walk through Chicago's capital of Mexican cultures, get the larger meaning behind the public art on railroad viaducts, buildings, and doors, which shows an evolution of the community's Mexican identity, heritage, and activism. The tour weaves the history of Pilsen with vibrant murals and lived personal experiences. $25, $22.50 members Tour runs 1.5 to 2 hours. Meet outside the National Museum of Mexican Art, 1852 West 19th Street. Tour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum, good for one week from tour date.
