Southeast: A City Within a City is a documentary about Chicago's Southeast Side, a neighborhood built around steel, and what was left when the mills closed. Directed by Steven J. Walsh, the film follows the impact of deindustrialization on a community that had everything, until it was taken away.

This screening is presented by Miguel Limón for Registros at Kimball Arts Center and Huellas de Paso / Marks of Passage at Comfort Station, two concurrent exhibitions by Limón rooted in the same geography and history; Mexican migrant labor, industrial erasure, and the Southeast Side as living archive. It takes place as the former U.S. Steel South Works site, the mill at the center of the film's story, is being redeveloped into the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park, a transformation already generating urgent debate about who benefits, who is protected, and whose history gets carried forward.

Walsh and Limón will be in conversation following the screening.

Free and open to the public. Light refreshments provided. Presented by Kimball Arts Center and the Comfort Station with Miguel Limón.

PLEASE NOTE: This event takes place offsite at Kimball Arts Center, 1757 N Kimball Ave, Chicago, IL 60647
