Halfway to Forecastle

The 8th annual Forecastle Festival will host the 2nd annual “Halfway to Forecastle” mini-fest January 17th at the Green Building in downtown Louisville. Presented by Havana Cola, a portion of proceeds benefit efforts to establish the first Lower Ohio Riverkeeper Chapter, a project inspired by Riverkeeper attorney and Forecastle speaker Robert. F. Kennedy Jr to protect and preserve our nation’s waterways. The project is being overseen by the Kentucky Waterways Alliance, a citizen’s organization dedicated to protecting and restoring Kentucky’s waterways through advocacy and grassroots awareness. Nautical costumes encouraged.

art.

• Julia Christensen's "Big Box Reuse" project. Supporting her recently released book, Big Box is a road trip across America looking at what becomes of the spaces (“big boxes”) superstores leave behind when they abandon the building for bigger stores. From churches, retail outlets, charter schools, courthouses, senior centers and even a spam museum, Big Box Reuse shows the many practical reuses of buildings that initially seemed suited for one function. Since the spring of 2004, Christensen has driven over 75,000 miles, visiting converted big boxes and meeting the people who are transforming these massive shells into useful structures for their community.
