Evanston Made in the News
We are so grateful for the Evanston RoundTable’s news coverage of Evanston Made’s programs and events!
Evanston Made is hard at work designing programs that connect our 400+ members to community and any press or coverage we get, doubles the impact of our work.
During Winter Wonderland 2022, we collaborated with Jamie Thome of Artists Book House to host an incredibly unique and interesting Puppet Show by Sam J. Lewis II.
Sam is an accidental puppeteer who tries to create intentional work. He has worked for over a decade with a vintage Black Americana marionette, which he reimagined as the character, “Jus Hambone,” which confronts and challenges racist imagery of Black people. Currently, he’s working with his two sons, using a newly built rod puppet. A puppet representing his paternal grandfather, creating a long-form puppetry piece based on recently discovered family history, tentatively titled, Everybody Knew Their Place.
