One Earth One Chance | Parakalam Labs at the Ten20 Gallery
2026-05-09 14:00 - 18:00 (America/Chicago)
One Earth One Chance is participating in ParaKalam Labs – a community arts and climate research event and part of an ongoing program that uses Kalamkari – a South Indian textile craft and narrative art form – as a critical design methodology for documenting environmental and social injustice.
This first workshop invites participants to design circular biomaterials on paper, create original Kalamkari climate illustrations, and contribute their work to a growing archive.
The program explores how traditional art forms like Kalamkari can become innovative pathways to climate research and circular solutions. One Earth One Chance anchors this event, serving as the real-world bridge between what participants design in the workshop and what circular fashion and sustainable textiles look like right now.
OEOC will present their Green Citizen Speaker Series featuring Philip Samson and Sonali Chaturvedi, as a micro learning session on the topic of Sustainable Fashion.

Dallas Urbanists | Hyperlocal Conversation: Walkability in Uptown/Oak Lawn
2026-05-25 19:00 - 21:00
A hyperlocal conversation is a neighborhood-specific monthly gathering where neighbors discuss ways to improve walkability where they live. The Dallas Urbanists’ vision is to have a conversation in and for every neighborhood in Dallas.
To guide the conversation, they’ll read brief excerpts from the book “Walkable City Rules: 101 Steps To Making Better Places” by Jeff Speck. You’ll learn about the “General Theory of Walkability”, which outlines four essential conditions that must be met for a walk to be favored: it must be useful, safe, comfortable, and interesting. Then, with the principles in mind, the group will discuss the current strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities in the neighborhood when it comes to walkability.
—
