SUMMARY:Through Her Lens: Caribbean Image Makers
DESCRIPTION:The Puerto Rican Arts Alliance (PRAA) is pleased to present Through Her Lens: Caribbean Image Makers\, a group exhibition featuring six lens-based artists whose work explores Caribbean identity\, migration\, memory\, and belonging across diasporic spaces. The exhibition is on view through July 25\, 2026. \nBringing together artists working across documentary\, ethnographic\, conceptual\, and research-based photography\, Through Her Lens centers women image-makers whose practices expand photography beyond documentation into a form of witnessing\, care\, and cultural record-keeping. The exhibition highlights how photography operates as a visual archive of movement\, ritual\, survival\, and cultural continuity across the Caribbean and its global diasporas. \nFeatured artists include Sonia Báez-Hernández\, Lisa DuBois\, Brenda Lee Hernández Díaz\, Qurissy\, Alexandra Majerus\, and Tameshia Glass. Their work spans multiple geographies—including Chicago\, New York\, New Orleans\, Canada\, Puerto Rico\, the Dominican Republic\, Barbados\, Cuba\, and beyond—reflecting the Caribbean as both a region and a network of lived diasporic experiences. \nSonia Báez-Hernández’s interdisciplinary practice examines migration\, illness\, and the body as a political and poetic site. Lisa DuBois documents ritual and cultural expression within Black diasporic communities\, emphasizing photography’s capacity to witness spiritual and communal life. Brenda Lee Hernández Díaz explores introspection and transformation through documentary and conceptual approaches. Qurissy’s work centers Afro–Puerto Rican lineage and the stateside experience through image and oral narrative. Alexandra Majerus interrogates representation\, tourism\, and postcolonial identity within Caribbean landscapes. Tameshia Glass presents documentary portraits of Chicago residents\, positioning the city as a diasporic space shaped by migration and memory. \nTogether\, these artists offer layered perspectives on Caribbean identity in contemporary contexts\, examining how culture is held\, transmitted\, and reshaped across borders and generations. The exhibition foregrounds photography as a relational practice—connecting photographer and subject\, homeland and diaspora\, personal narrative and collective history. \nCurated by Jorge Félix\, Director of Exhibitions & Collections at PRAA\, Through Her Lens reflects the organization’s ongoing commitment to community-based curatorial practice and diasporic cultural preservation. The exhibition complements PRAA’s broader archive initiatives\, including El Archivo Project\, which documents the histories and contributions of Puerto Rican communities in Chicago and the Midwest. \nThe exhibition is FREE Admission and open to the public Tue to Fri: 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM\, and by appointment on Saturdays or during non-gallery hours. To schedule visits during non-gallery hours\, email Jorge Felix at jorge@praachicago.org. Guests will have the opportunity to meet participating artists and learn more about the exhibition’s themes and related programming. \nAbout the Puerto Rican Arts Alliance (PRAA) The Puerto Rican Arts Alliance is a multidisciplinary arts organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Puerto Rican and Caribbean arts and culture through exhibitions\, performances\, education\, and community-based archival initiatives. Through its Exhibitions & Collections Program and El Archivo Project\, PRAA documents and shares the cultural histories of Puerto Rican and Caribbean communities in Chicago and the Midwest. \nMedia Contact: Jorge Félix Director\, Exhibitions & Collections Program Puerto Rican Arts Alliance jorge@praachicago.org | +1 (773)620-8608 \n# # #

SUMMARY:A Plot of One's Own
DESCRIPTION:A Plot of One’s Own 一亩三分地 presents extraordinary contributions from ten Chinese diasporic artists alongside the Chinese American Museum of Chicago’s research and archives. Through artworks that span painting\, drawing\, photography\, printmaking\, sculpture\, installation\, artist’s books\, video\, cartography\, multimedia and living installation\, this exhibition reflects on the beauty and savvy behind the “farm-gardens” seen all around Chicago’s Chinatown and Chinese American communities across the diaspora. \nWhile the pop-culture lens of an American Chinatown is defined by dragons\, pagodas\, and red-lacquered replicas of Chinese-ness meant as a transportative portal to the Far East of the American imagination\, this group exhibition refocuses our gaze with a look into an oft-overlooked (yet ubiquitous) cultural phenomenon of spontaneous domestic farming and guerilla gardens.  \nDespite a lack of green space in many urban environments\, the presence of fresh produce and backyard jungles are nevertheless a defining marker of Chinese communities around the world. Contextualized by archival materials and artifacts from the CAMOC Collection\, the artworks of Andy Chan\, Yi Cynthia Chen\, Mel Chin\, Jenie Gao\, Xingyu Huang\, Mari Miller\, Hương Ngô\, Stephanie H. Shih\, Connie Zheng\, and Yu-Wen Wu invite a multi-faceted exploration of the intimate relationship between these gardens with land use\, food sovereignty\, civic planning\, globalization\, neighborhood ecosystems\, memory\, and the many versions we make of house and home. \nA Plot of One’s Own 一亩三分地 will show at CAMOC | Chinese American Museum of Chicago September 19\, 2026 – August 31\, 2027  \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, September 19\, 2026\, 2:00pm – 5:00pm \n\nAndy Hoi-Csiu Chan\nYi Cynthia Chen\nMel Chin\nJenie Gao\nXingyu Huang\nMari Miller\nHương Ngô\nStephanie H. Shih\nConnie Zheng\nYu-Wen Wu

From his debut collection\, The Leap Year (1978)\, to his latest collection\, Desire (2023)\, O’Siadhail captures evolving struggles with love\, faith\, and humanity.
