Jean Cate comes to the shores of Lake Michigan by way of Cali. It appears Chicago has a firm grip on her heart, and in this conversation Jean explains why that is so. You’ll hear about her varied approach to painting as an abstract naturalist, and why place-making fuels her life as a creative. You can see her work and the varied works of dozens at The Center of Order and Experimentation(not a cult). Jean’s latest exhibition is happening at Lula Cafe in West Town.

Kevin is a writer and filmmaker who emerged in the spoken word and hip hop scene of the ‘90s. He grew up on basketball courts and Chicago’s Red Line, and got hooked on the stories of the folks he met on the train and at his aunt’s seder table.
