SUMMARY:Book Talk: Full of Myself with Austin Channing Brown and Nikole Hannah-Jones
DESCRIPTION:Book Talk: Full of Myself with Austin Channing Brown and Nikole Hannah-Jones \n***Each ticket includes a copy of Full of Myself; Austin will be available to sign copies and meet attendees following the event!*** \nJoin us as we celebrate the release of New York Times bestselling author Austin Channing Brown’s latest book\, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-Possession! Austin will be joined in conversation with journalist and academic Nikole Hannah-Jones! \nIn a time of rising authoritarianism and attacks on personal freedoms\, the New York Times bestselling author of I’m Still Here chronicles her efforts to live as her full self in a society that wants women—and Black women in particular—to do anything but that. \nAs an antiracism educator and writer leading through America’s cycles of racial unrest\, Austin Channing Brown reached a crossroads. “I love my work\,” she writes\, “and I am tired. We are tired. Tired of protesting. Tired of ‘saving democracy.’ Tired of educating and explaining.” She began to ask\, “What do I deserve\, not just as a citizen but as a human?”Full of Myself answers that question. \nWeaving personal narrative with perceptive social commentary\, Brown offers a look at the mechanisms that limit who Black women are allowed to be—at work\, at home\, in community—and the defining moments when she decided that self-possession is the justice work she had been made to undervalue. From skinny-dipping in the ocean to becoming a mom\, she delves into the drama of life and invites readers to begin defining themselves not as empty vessels to improve the world\, but as people born free in spirit\, in hope\, in joy. For Black women seeking to understand the true roots of their burnout\, or for anyone wondering what it means to live joyfully in a hostile world\, Full of Myself is a breath of fresh air and an invitation to full humanity. \nAustin Channing Brown is an author and speaker providing inspired leadership on racial justice in America. She is the New York Times bestselling author of I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness\, a Reese’s Book Club pick. Her work has been featured by outlets such as On Being\, Chicago Tribune\, and WNYC. \nNikole Hannah-Jones is an award-winning investigative reporter who covers civil rights and racial injustice for The New York Times Magazine and the Knight Chair in Race and Journalism at Howard University\, where she is the founding director of the Center for Journalism & Democracy. Her reporting has earned her the Pulitzer Prize and the MacArthur “Genius” Grant.

SUMMARY:Sunset Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Sunset Yoga \nUnwind with a gentle Hatha yoga flow as the sun dips below the horizon. This slower-paced take on the classic sun salutation is designed to ease you into the summer night and is open to all experience levels. The experience includes offerings to engage all your senses: herbal iced teas and fruit waters to support hydration and the immune system\, essential oil blends informed by herbalism and Ayurveda to calm the nervous system\, and Tibetan singing bowls to transition you out of śavāsana and back into a peaceful evening. Led by yoga instructor Rhya Moffitt\, with special guest offerings in alignment with the themes of each month. \n Sunset Yoga will be offered for three months\, each with a specific focus: \n\n\nJuly: “Root” will focus on grounding and creating home and stability within the body and mind \n\n\nAugust: “Express” meditates on the power of the voice and its necessary connection to the heart to communicate truth authentically and courageously \n\n\nSeptember: “Imagine” explores the importance of the imagination within a world that strives toward oppressive conformity\, emphasizing the freeing power of seeing the world anew as a necessary first step to worldbuilding and collective transformation \n\n\nDrawing on connections between yoga and Black liberation struggles (ex. Rose Parks’ and Angela Davis’ yoga practices in prison)\, artistic practice (Alice Coltrane)\, and personal sustenance (Harriet Jacobs’ movement and meditative practices during her seven years in the garret while enslaved)\, this unique program supports self care by invoking Black radical ancestors and contemporaries (ex. Cole Arthur Riley of Black Liturgies). \nSunset Yoga will take place rain or shine! In the case of inclement weather\, we’ll move the session indoors so you can still enjoy your practice in a calm and welcoming environment. Keep an eye on your email or our social media for any location updates.

SUMMARY:First Monday Jazz: Tom Tom's Big Band
DESCRIPTION:Launched in 2013\, First Monday Jazz is APL’s longest-running program\, featuring emerging and established Chicago musicians and vocalists on the first Monday of every month. \n\nThis year\, First Monday Jazz 2025: Big Band Summer takes us on a journey back to the golden age of big band jazz in Chicago. As the 1920s exploded with musical energy from the South mixed with a growing nightlife culture\, our city became an epicenter where the raw spirit of early jazz blossomed into the power of larger ensembles. Imagine the scene: bustling cabarets\, elegant ballrooms like the Savoy (on 47th and King Drive)\, and grand theaters such as the Regal hosting musical forces that would define an era. In this electric atmosphere\, bandleaders like the legendary Earl Hines helped shape the big band sound\, known for its tight arrangements\, bold horn sections\, and driving rhythm perfect for dancing. \n\nOur September artist is Tom Tom’s Big Band \nDriven by a passion for instrumental music\, Tom Tom’s Big Band unites some of Chicago’s finest musicians to keep this American art form alive—and to inspire the next generation by helping revive band programs in public schools. \nPianist\, arranger\, and producer\, Tom “Tom Tom” Washington was raised in the Ida B. Wells projects on Chicago’s South Side. He began his music career playing the drums and later transitioned to the keyboard. He received formal music training from influential professor and musical arranger James Mack at Crane Junior College\, and went on to arrange dozens of records for Chicago music legends\, including Earth\, Wind & Fire\, The Emotions\, Tyrone Davis\, Deniece Williams\, The Staple Singers\, Ramsey Lewis\, Leroy Hutson\, The Chi-Lites\, Otis Leavill\, Betty Everett\, Jerry Butler\, and Loleatta Holloway \n\nNotes: \n\n\nAttendees may start setting up their spots starting at 6:30pm. The program begins at 7pm. \n\n\nWe encourage bringing your blanket or a low-profile lawn chair to relax in the front seating on the grass. APL provides some seating\, but seats are limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. \n\n\nFor APL events on the Arts Lawn\, restrooms are available inside the Green Line Performing Arts Center. \n\n\nArts + Public Life’s outdoor programming on the Arts Lawn will proceed rain or shine unless there are hazardous conditions. Plan accordingly and check APL’s social media channels for real-time updates. Changes to programming related to weather conditions will be announced no earlier than one hour prior to programming. We appreciate your understanding and commitment to community safety.

SUMMARY:Sunset Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Sunset Yoga \nUnwind with a gentle Hatha yoga flow as the sun dips below the horizon. This slower-paced take on the classic sun salutation is designed to ease you into the summer night and is open to all experience levels. The experience includes offerings to engage all your senses: herbal iced teas and fruit waters to support hydration and the immune system\, essential oil blends informed by herbalism and Ayurveda to calm the nervous system\, and Tibetan singing bowls to transition you out of śavāsana and back into a peaceful evening. Led by yoga instructor Rhya Moffitt\, with special guest offerings in alignment with the themes of each month. \n Sunset Yoga will be offered for three months\, each with a specific focus: \n\n\nJuly: “Root” will focus on grounding and creating home and stability within the body and mind \n\n\nAugust: “Express” meditates on the power of the voice and its necessary connection to the heart to communicate truth authentically and courageously \n\n\nSeptember: “Imagine” explores the importance of the imagination within a world that strives toward oppressive conformity\, emphasizing the freeing power of seeing the world anew as a necessary first step to worldbuilding and collective transformation \n\n\nDrawing on connections between yoga and Black liberation struggles (ex. Rose Parks’ and Angela Davis’ yoga practices in prison)\, artistic practice (Alice Coltrane)\, and personal sustenance (Harriet Jacobs’ movement and meditative practices during her seven years in the garret while enslaved)\, this unique program supports self care by invoking Black radical ancestors and contemporaries (ex. Cole Arthur Riley of Black Liturgies). \nSunset Yoga will take place rain or shine! In the case of inclement weather\, we’ll move the session indoors so you can still enjoy your practice in a calm and welcoming environment. Keep an eye on your email or our social media for any location updates.

Led by yoga instructor Rhya Moffitt\, with special guest offerings in alignment with the themes of each month. \n Sunset Yoga will be offered for three months\, each with a specific focus: \n\n\nJuly: “Root” will focus on grounding and creating home and stability within the body and mind \n\n\nAugust: “Express” meditates on the power of the voice and its necessary connection to the heart to communicate truth authentically and courageously \n\n\nSeptember: “Imagine” explores the importance of the imagination within a world that strives toward oppressive conformity\, emphasizing the freeing power of seeing the world anew as a necessary first step to worldbuilding and collective transformation \n\n\nDrawing on connections between yoga and Black liberation struggles (ex. Rose Parks’ and Angela Davis’ yoga practices in prison)\, artistic practice (Alice Coltrane)\, and personal sustenance (Harriet Jacobs’ movement and meditative practices during her seven years in the garret while enslaved)\, this unique program supports self care by invoking Black radical ancestors and contemporaries (ex. Cole Arthur Riley of Black Liturgies). \nSunset Yoga will take place rain or shine! In the case of inclement weather\, we’ll move the session indoors so you can still enjoy your practice in a calm and welcoming environment. Keep an eye on your email or our social media for any location updates.
