Architectural and urban designer Paola Aguirre believes writing a love letter to the shuttered Crump Theatre could result in the decaying performance facility’s salvation.
Community residents are being asked to put their thoughts on paper in a special workshop from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday at The Commons, and then translate those thoughts into colorful images that could be incorporated into an Exhibit Columbus installation at the theater this fall.
“It’s an exercise in translating narrative into a visual message,” Aguirre said in a telephone interview from her Borderless Studio and Workshop in Chicago recently. “I want people to consider writing a love letter to the Crump as though the building was a person.”
