On this week’s episode of Out and About, Dr. Mae Gilliland of ArtsPartners of Central Illinois talks with Elizabeth Klise, executive director of the Peoria Historical Society, about Place and Displacement, a powerful exhibition and event series that examines the impact of urban renewal on Peoria’s Southtown neighborhood.
Klise shares the inspiration behind the project, what made Southtown a vibrant community, and how this effort to preserve its history invites all of us to reflect on memory, loss, and belonging.
