SUMMARY:Chicago Queer History Walking Tours: June 20 Dive Keepers on North Clark Get Warnings
DESCRIPTION:In 1948 the Chicago Tribune reported that Capt. John J. Walsh was cracking down on gay bars in the River North neighborhood. Walsh insisted that the bar owners remove any coverings on the windows of the bars so the cops could observe what was going on inside. This insistence of observation recalls what Michel Foucault called “panopticonism\,” a way that the state exerts control by ensuring that everyone knows they can be observed at any time. This walking tour covers the sites Walsh visited with his warnings and tells the stories of what happened before\, and after the crackdown. \nTime: Saturday June 20\, 1 pm\nStart: Chicago Water Tower (801 N Michigan Ave)\nEnd: 2nd Story Bar (157 E Ohio St #2)\nDistance: apx 2 miles \nThe University of Illinois Chicago Gender and Sexuality Center presents a series of Chicago Queer History Walking Tours for Summer 2026. Tours are conducted by Daniel Williams\, a political science professor who’s been bringing the details of Chicago’s queer past to life on social media. Follow him on Instagram @Daniel.Edward.Williams\nAll walking tours are free\, with tips gratefully accepted\, but not expected.

SUMMARY:Chicago Queer History Walking Tours: June 13 Public and Private Queerness

SUMMARY:MASPALOMAS
DESCRIPTION:MASPALOMAS is a luminous\, sensual drama set in the sun-drenched freedom of Gran Canaria\, where desire\, reinvention\, and queer community flourish in open defiance of age and expectation. The next Chicago premiere from the QUEER EXPRESSION FILM FESTIVAL\, the film offers a rare and deeply moving portrait of queer life later in life. \nAt its center is a 76-year-old man who has built a world defined by pleasure\, independence\, and self-expression—embracing the rhythms of Maspalomas with unapologetic vitality. But when that fragile sense of freedom is disrupted\, the past he once escaped begins to close in. Family ties\, buried truths\, and unresolved histories resurface\, forcing him to confront not only where he came from\, but who he still has the courage to be. \nCritics have praised the film’s emotional honesty and sensuality\, highlighting its tender\, unflinching look at desire and aging\, and its refusal to look away from the complexities of queer identity later in life. The performances—especially by José Ramón Soroiz—have been noted for their depth and vulnerability\, grounding the film in a lived-in authenticity that resonates long after the final scene. \nWhat unfolds is both intimate and expansive: a story of longing\, resilience\, and the radical act of choosing oneself—again and again. At once sensual and deeply human\, MASPALOMAS explores the complexities of identity across generations\, asking what it truly means to live authentically when time\, memory\, and desire collide.

SUMMARY:The John Waters Screenplays: A Reading and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading and career-spanning conversation with legendary filmmaker and writer John Waters as he celebrates the new reissue of his classic early screenplays. In true icon fashion\, the reading will feature Waters voicing each and every part from a scene in one of his screenplays. \nFrom the transgressive Pink Flamingos to the joy of Hairspray — later a Tony Award-winning musical — Waters redefined independent cinema in the ’70s and ’80s with his singular blend of shock and wit. More than a filmmaker\, Waters is a literary provocateur whose humor challenged every boundary of taste and convention. This conversation explores his journey from young Baltimore filmmaker to the undisputed king of cult cinema\, honoring six of his reissued screenplays: Multiple Maniacs\, Pink Flamingos\, Female Trouble\, Desperate Living\, Flamingos Forever\, and Hairspray. \nPlus\, enter for a chance to read on stage at the event with John Waters when you purchase tickets. \nA signing will follow this event.

SUMMARY:Chicago Queer History Walking Tours: Police\, Gangsters\, and Gay Bars
DESCRIPTION:The University of Chicago sociologist Ernest Burgess observed that the city contains “zones of transition” that sat between areas of the city with clearly defined purposes and which people often used for activities which society frown upon. These areas were often the places that fomented queer culture in the industrial city – but that required an interaction between queerness and other criminal behavior. Learn about the interaction between queerness\, the state’s monopoly on legitimate violence\, and organized crime as we investigate the delicate negotiations and compromises required to keep queer institutions open in the city in the 20th century. \nThe University of Illinois Chicago Gender and Sexuality Center presents a series of Chicago Queer History Walking Tours for Summer 2026. Tours are conducted by Daniel Williams\, a political science professor who’s been bringing the details of Chicago’s queer past to life on social media. \nFollow him on Instagram @Daniel.Edward.Williams\nAll walking tours are free\, with tips gratefully accepted\, but not expected.

SUMMARY:South Side + Friends chef series with Dominique Leach
DESCRIPTION:Chicago is\, and always has been\, one of the greatest culinary cities in the world. Yet\, while the North Side often capture the spotlight\, the South Side rarely gets the love it deserves. That’s exactly why nationally acclaimed pitmaster and South Side icon Chef Dominique Leach of Lexington Betty Smokehouse (Food Network’s 2023 BBQ Brawl Champion\, Food Network Canada’s FIRE MASTERS\, Good Morning America’s “Best Barbecue in Chicago”) located in Chicago’s historic Pullman neighborhood\, is launching a bold new culinary collaboration series: the “South Side + Friends” Guest Chef Series\, hosted inside the intimate\, loft-style House of Gaz in Bridgeport. \nThis ongoing series will spotlight the city’s most exciting culinary talents from the South Side (and a few special guests along the way)\, creating more awareness and visibility to showcase how the South Side is a more than worthy destination for food lovers with a platform that champions the community. Each dinner is a chance to experience these chefs in an entirely new way\, featuring one-night-only elevated menus\, coursed out meals\, cocktails parties and more\, all with the incredible hospitality Chef Dominique is known for. The series will be kicking off with James Sanders of Sanders BBQ Supply Co\, Maya-Camille Broussard of Justice of the Pies\, and Kendra Anderson of Caviar Dream Co. \n“For me\, this is about visibility and pride\,” says Chef Dominique Leach. “It can be hard to get people to pay attention to the South Side\, even though it’s where so many culture-shaping chefs are doing the work. There is so much talent and heart here\, and I wanted to create something that brings those voices together in one intimate space. This series is about rallying people to the South Side\, celebrating incredible chefs from this area (plus a few from beyond!)\, and showing that this community isn’t just special\, it’s essential to the city’s story.” \nThe series kicks off with a powerhouse lineup including: \nSaturday\, January 31 — James Sanders of Sanders BBQ Supply Co (Beverly)\nChef James Sanders has created Sanders BBQ Supply Co. as a BBQ destination in the Beverly neighborhood\, which has gaining acclaim from local and national publications\, including a spot on the 2025 New York Times Top 50 Restaurants List and Eater Chicago dubbing them the “new kings of BBQ.” Opened in partnership with Texas BBQ aficionado Pitmaster Nick Kleutsch\, Sanders BBQ Supply Co. has earned praise for its Central Texas-inspired smoked brisket\, ribs\, house-made sausages\, and peach tea wings. \nWednesday\, February 25 — Maya-Camille Broussard of Justice of the Pies (Avalon Park)\nMaya-Camille Broussard is the chef and owner of Justice of the Pies\, an Avalon Park bakery specializing in sweet and savory pies\, quiches\, and tarts\, and operating with a strong social mission centered on fairness\, equality\, and food justice. She starred on Netflix’s Bake Squad\, where she was handpicked by Milk Bar’s Christina Tosi and dubbed the show’s “Flavor Maven\,” and was a finalist for Outstanding Baker at the 2022 James Beard Awards. Since opening her flagship storefront in September 2023\, Justice of the Pies has earned national acclaim\, including Esquire’s 2023 Best New Restaurant honor and Pastry Chef of the Year for Broussard. \nSaturday\, March 28 — Kendra Anderson of Caviar Dream Co. (West Loop)\nA professional chef\, advanced sommelier\, serial entrepreneur\, and overall hospitality maven\, Kendra launched Caviar Dream in 2024 to share her love of this unique delicacy with the world\, and with a specific mission to transform the world of luxury caviar by making it more inclusive and empowering. Caviar Dream is the first Black- and female-owned nationally distributed caviar business in the United States\, providing representation\, access\, and experiences that inspire and encourage communities to indulge to live well.
