Politics, youth, and art are usually all kept at a distance. The Midwest Social Forum hopes to bridge these divides by placing some of the most politically conscious, talented, and outspoken youth front and center throughout the weekend.
Many of the sessions, workshops, films and plenaries will be kicked off with poems by members of the Young Chicago Authors, Youth Speaks Wisconsin, and the Minnesota Spoken Word Association. They'll also be letting their lyrics loose at concerts each night in the Wisconsin Room. Don't miss it.
