Explore life-sized and whimsical puppets up close, while learning about real animals. Step into a world where every creature is made of strings, fabric, and recycled materials. The Puppet Zoo is exactly what it sounds like: a living menagerie of puppets brought to life before your eyes by puppeteers. This is an immersive environment filled with a wide variety of animal puppets\u2014some hyperrealistic and life-sized, others whimsical, colorful, and full of character.Unlike a traditional stage performance or zoo, this hands-on experience allows you to meet these creatures up close. Interact, learn, and build with the puppeteers, as this realm is not only filled with puppets, but face painting, and puppet-building workshops too! From the tiniest critters to larger-than-life beasts, the Puppet Zoo blends art, storytelling, and natural science into one unforgettable adventure. Perfect for families, kids of all ages, and anyone curious about the wild world of puppetry and the animals that inspire them. Plus, workshop activations by guest zookeepers!Emilie Wingate is a Chicago-based puppet fabricator with a focus on animals, hyperrealism,  and pushing to create from 100% recycled materials, down to the glue! Art has been Emilie's passion ever since the third grade, and she is grateful to say that it is now her life. She often works with companies such as the Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival, Rough House, and various smaller companies as a fabricator and an occasional performer. It is her hope to bring more light to the world through the art of puppetry, and the joy of animals. \nThis event is being shared at Berger Park Cultural Center as part of Movement Studies \u2013 a programming series investigating social and environmental transitions.

Jamie\u2019s body of work spans over multiple mediums including printmaking, public art, collage, zines, poetry, and film. From early on, art has offered a way to connect and communicate ideas of Indigenous lived experience under settler colonialism, relationships to land, water, family, and ancestry, as well as queer and trans joy and survival.

Displacement is not what follows an attack; it is what the attack is designed to do. Civilians are forced to flee for their lives when they receive a leaflet instructing them to move to the nearest \u201csafe shelter\u201d such as the case in Gaza. Others are trapped in the crossfire of active gun battles between armed forces as civilians are in Sudan. In the United States, policing practices against civilians rely on racial profiling, public execution, protest control, mass deportation, inhumane detention, and separating families apart.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo One is Safe project performs an act of solidarity \u2013 from mother to mother, woman to woman, from one stateless immigrant to another. Each of these identities I embody has been marked by fear and anxiety for myself, my children, my family, and my community. Watching people across these three regions be forcibly displaced, detained or deported again and again, with nowhere left to go, is trauma-triggering. It lands like a needle piercing the skin, leaving me with one truth: No one is safe.\nLinda Abdullah is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, curator, and daughter of Historic Palestine. Linda majored in Visual Communications at the American University of Sharjah (UAE) and received an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art Media and Design from OCAD University in Canada. Her critical graphic design practice examines social, cultural, and political identity through the lens of diaspora, displacement, and intellectual exile. She currently resides in Chicago.
