SUMMARY:Terroir and Territory: ART WORKS Project Year-End Event
DESCRIPTION:ART WORKS Projects is delighted to invite you to a special celebration as we prepare for the 10th anniversary of the Emerging Lens Fellowship Program in 2025. To commemorate this milestone\, we are hosting an evening of wine tasting and an exhibition that celebrates a decade of transformative storytelling through photography and visual art. \nThe event will feature the work of 2023-24 Fellows Astrig Agopian and Natalia Favre\, whose projects illuminate the enduring connection between land\, identity\, and resilience. The concept of terroir finds unique resonance in their work\, where natural elements like soil and climate shape and preserve cultural heritage. In terroir studies\, soil is not merely a physical medium but a vessel for memory\, carrying layers of meaning that reflect the past and inform the present. This connection becomes the foundation of both artists’ narratives\, as their projects remind us that land is more than terrain—it is a living repository of memory and cultural identity. \nIn Like There’s No Tomorrow\, Astrig Agopian explores how soil and landscape serve as anchors of cultural identity for displaced Armenians\, using land to preserve memory and foster resilience. Similarly\, Maloneras\, Seeds of Resistance by Natalia Favre sheds light on the struggle of Indigenous women in northern Argentina to protect their ancestral land from the environmental and social consequences of lithium mining. Both projects demonstrate how land\, like terroir in winemaking\, shapes unique and enduring narratives\, becoming symbols of resistance\, identity\, and heritage. \nJoin us for this memorable celebration where we will explore the powerful stories behind these works while enjoying a curated wine tasting experience that embodies the rich symbolism of land and place. Together\, we will reflect on a decade of impactful storytelling through the Emerging Lens Fellowship and toast to a future of continued creative exploration and cultural preservation. \nWe hope you will join us for this sensory evening dedicated to the resilience and beauty of land\, culture\, and community! \nEVENT TICKET INCLUDES: \nThree wine-tasting stations featuring 3-5 wines from select regions including: \n\nJujuy/Andean Region of Argentina and Chile\nArmenia\, Azerbaijan\, and Georgia\nSyria and Lebanon\n\nThere will also be heavy appetizers\, additional beverages including non-alcoholic refreshments\, and desserts.

SUMMARY:BETWEEN ROOTS AND HORIZON
DESCRIPTION:In Between Roots and Horizon\, Mosiyevych explores the convergence of Ukrainian and American landscapes through cultural and ecological themes. She reflects on the environmental devastation wrought by war in Ukraine while drawing parallels to ecological challenges in the U.S. such as industrial agriculture and climate change. These parallel concerns serve as metaphors for the human experience of displacement and adaptation\, capturing the fragile yet resilient connection between people and their environment.

SUMMARY:All in on Quantum: A Vision for the South Lakefront
DESCRIPTION:A first-of-its-kind Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park (IQMP) will soon touch down at the former U.S. Steel South Works site\, a 440-acre barren expanse at the end of the lakefront trail. Learn all about this generational investment on the Far South Side. \nThe largest piece of the new megadevelopment is a leading-edge quantum computing campus for the company PsiQuantum. IBM has also announced it will participate in the IQMP’s National Quantum Algorithm Center next door\, and a much-needed Advocate Health hospital to the north rounds out the site plan.

SUMMARY:Crossroads of Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Yurii Bandera’s exhibition\, “Crossroads of Worlds” (Перехрестя світів)\, will be on display May 30 to June 22 at the Ukrainian National Museum.His work invites viewers into a space where multiple realities converge: cultures\, memories\, and inner and outer landscapes. Each work is born from the artist’s encounter with these dual realms\, forming a visual dialogue between the seen and unseen. The “crossroads” becomes not just a motif but a philosophical meeting place—one where every viewer is invited to interpret the experience uniquely.The artistic journey of Yurii Bandera began in childhood.He graduated from Lviv Polytechnic University with a degree in Architecture. For over two decades\, he taught at the Stryi Higher Art Vocational School\, continuing to shape generations of young artists.In 2017\, Yurii Bandera’s contribution to Ukrainian art was officially recognized with his acceptance into the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. Now\, in his new world — the United States — he continues to explore and expand his creative vision.

SUMMARY:Courage of a Nation
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in the United States\, the photo exhibition Courage of a Nation by Howard G. Buffett will be open to the public in Chicago. \nThe extraordinary photo exhibition Courage of a Nation\, by Howard G. Buffett\, Ukraine’s largest private donor\, will be on display at the Ukrainian National Museum in Chicago from July 2 to September 7\, 2025. Following its museum debut\, the exhibition will relocate to a downtown Chicago location\, where it will remain on view for several months\, offering the public insights into three years of documentation of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine and Mr. Buffett’s visual journey. \nThe photo exhibition is a selection of images that show the courage\, resiliency\, and commitment of the Ukrainian people as they stand strong for democracy and freedom\, taken by Howard G. Buffett\, photographer and chairman and CEO of the Howard G. Buffett Foundation. The images were taken between April 2022 and January 2025\, including more than 63 days along the front lines. \nMr. Buffett crossed the border into Ukraine\, camera in hand\, about six weeks after Russia began its February 2022 full-scale invasion. Since then\, Mr. Buffett has made more than 20 trips to Ukraine\, including trips to Bucha\, Kharkiv\, Sumy\, Kherson\, Vuhledar\, Slovyansk\, and Bakhmut. \n“I want to thank the hundreds of Ukrainians from all walks of life I have met over the past three years who have so generously allowed me to take these images and tell their stories. I am regularly awed by their courage and resiliency–on the front lines\, on the home front\, and everywhere in between. I have had incredible support from many people\, and I have been embraced by individuals who have lost everything they have\, including\, in some cases\, their families. I hope this exhibit allows you to join me to bear witness to their struggle\, recognize their courage\, and offer our collective support as Ukrainians continue to fight for their freedoms.” Said Howard G. Buffett. \nThe exhibition is curated by the world-renowned photographer and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and changemaker\, Muhammed Muheisen. \n“I am honoured to be the curator of this powerful and moving photo exhibition by my friend Howard\, captured with both his heart and camera. It takes courage to capture courage in a single moment in time. This photo exhibition is all about courage\, the courageous people seen in the photographs\, and the courage of the photographer who captured the photographs.” Said Muhammed Muheisen.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: "The Invisible Spy" by Thomas Maier (ONLINE)
DESCRIPTION:Author\, television producer\, and former Chicago Sun-Times journalist Thomas Maier visits the American Writers Museum to discuss his new book The Invisible Spy. It is the untold WWII story of Ernest Cuneo\, a former NFL player turned White House insider who worked with Churchill’s undercover agents in New York City to conduct the biggest foreign spy operation ever within the US and how Cuneo later helped inspire Ian Fleming’s James Bond. The Invisible Spy has been praised by The Wall Street Journal and selected in April as an Amazon Editors’s Best Book in History. \nAs an award-winning author and journalist\, Maier will also talk about how his previous books were translated into primetime television shows—Showtime’s Emmy-winning Masters of Sex and Paramount’s Mafia Spies\, both praised by The New York Times. \nThis is the livestream of an in person program at the American Writers Museum. When you register for this event\, you will receive access to the livestream link. If you would like to attend the program in person at the AWM\, get your tickets here. \nMore about The Invisible Spy: \nAs a tough but smart Italian American kid\, Ernest Cuneo played Ivy League football at Columbia University and was in the old Brooklyn Dodgers NFL franchise before becoming a city hall lawyer and “Brain Trust” aide to President Roosevelt. He was on the payroll of national radio columnist Walter Winchell and mingled with the famous and powerful. But his status as a spy remained a secret\, hiding in plain sight. \nDuring this time\, Cuneo began a close friendship with British spy Ian Fleming and helped inspire Fleming’s James Bond novels. He also began a love affair with one of Churchill’s agents at Rockefeller Center—Margaret Watson\, a beautiful Canadian woman with a photographic memory ideal for spycraft. In one nighttime attack\, Watson was nearly smothered to death by a Nazi assassin inside her women’s dormitory near Rockefeller Center. Cuneo’s transformation from a gridiron athlete into a high-stakes intelligence go-between and political influencer is one of the great untold stories of American espionage. He has remained “invisible” in the public eye—until now\, with this unveiled look into his life. \nFrom the bestselling author and producer of two hit TV series\, Mafia Spies and Masters of Sex\, Thomas Maier delves into the little-known tales behind the Rockefeller Center spy operation and the origins of American intelligence. The Invisible Spy weaves Cuneo’s remarkable personal story with vivid insights about many top twentieth-century figures\, including Churchill\, FDR and later JFK. Full of action and fascinating characters\, this untold history reveals how Cuneo\, as America’s first WWII spy\, helped the British launch a covert campaign against Nazi conspirators hidden in America\, an espionage war unbeknownst to many.
