What kind of stories can be told about how lived experiences across global communities, cities, territories, and ecologies resonate with architectural and space-making practices? The 2019 Chicago Architecture Biennial explores the implications of architecture and the built environment as they relate to land, memory, rights, and civic participation--drawing buildings, planning, art, policy making, education, and activism into new conversations at global and civic scales. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in conjunction with the third iteration of the Chicago Architecture Biennial, \u003ci\u003e...and other such stories\u003c\/i\u003e extends the exhibition's core questions through a range of essays, interviews, and visual dossiers, along with a section introducing the Biennial's contributors. It is structured by a series of curatorial frames: (1) No Land Beyond reflects on landscapes of belonging and sovereignty that challenge narrow definitions of land as property and commodity; (2) Appearances and Erasures explores both shared and contested memories in consideration of monuments, memorials, and social histories; (3) Rights and Reclamations foregrounds aspects of rights, advocacy, and civic purpose in architectural and spatial practices; and (4) Common Ground addresses practices invested in producing and intervening in public space within and beyond the field of architecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eYesomi Umolu, artistic director, is director and curator at the Logan Center Exhibitions at the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts, University of Chicago, where she oversees a program of international contemporary art.
