Join the Housing Fellowship and the Johnson County Affordable Housing Coalition in a community screening of The Pruitt-Igo Myth. Following the screening, we will host a Q&A session from the audience based on the film's topics: public social policy, architecture/design, and urban history as related to affordable housing. Tickets are available through FilmScene on a "pay-what-you-can" basis. Any amount paid above the associated costs of the screening will be directly donated to The Housing Fellowship!
This screening is presented by FilmScene as part of their Community Collaborations series. FilmScene's Community Collaborations is an ongoing series of engaging cinematic events in partnership with nonprofits, advocacy groups, passionate individuals, and community organizations to generate conversation and action inspired by film.
About the Film:
It began as a housing marvel. Built in 1956, Pruitt-Igoe was heralded as the model public housing project of the future, "the poor man's penthouse." Two decades later, it ended in rubble - its razing an iconic event that the architectural theorist Charles Jencks famously called "the death of modernism." The footage and images of its implosion have helped to perpetuate a myth of failure, a failure that has been used to critique Modernist architecture, attack public assistance programs, and stigmatize public housing residents.
The Pruitt-Igoe Myth seeks to set the historical record straight. To examine the interests involved in Pruitt-Igoe's creation. To re-evaluate the rumors and the stigma. To implode the myth.
