This event is in collaboration with TriTriangle. Red Rover Series supports DIY spaces in Chicago and the many independent artists/performers who have opened their creative homes to us. The Equity Arts organization has been attempting to displace activist and BIPOC artists in Wicker Park spaces TriTriangle and No Nation. Read up, take action, and show your solidarity here!
