SUMMARY:The Promised Land
DESCRIPTION:Eleven artists with ties to North and South of the Mason-Dixon Line respond to just how much Black life has always been in transit. \n  \nThe Great Migration was one of the largest movements of people in United States history. It has transformed cities like Chicago\, Detroit\, New York and Pittsburgh between 1916 and 1970. Chicago received more than 500\,000 Black Southern Americans during this time.\n  \nTo Southern Blacks\, Chicago was considered the “Promised Land”. Stories of big city life — jobs with good wages\, homes with running water\, and basic freedoms denied to Blacks in the South — made the Northern city a prime destination for Blacks coming from below the Mason-Dixon line. As the most documented migration in US history\, photographers like Gordon Parks\, Florestine Perrault Collins\, Moneta Sleet Jr.\, Roy DeCarava\, and Coreen Simpson created imagery that demonstrated Black life in movement.\n\nToday\, contemporary artists and image makers respond to the many migrations of African Diaspora peoples and the influences of these movements in their work.

SUMMARY:Arctic Highways
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit discusses the exploitation of Indigenous land and how imposed borders of nation-states have erased the natural land borders used by Indigenous peoples. Nine Sami artists and three Indigenous artists from Canada and the United States want to use this exhibit to start a dialogue\, raise questions\, and establish waypoints between their culture and ours. This exhibit takes us on a journey through an Arctic highway of culture and life\, stretching from the past into the future.

SUMMARY:The Negro Motorist Green Book
DESCRIPTION:“The Negro Motorist Green Book” guided Black Americans to thousands of businesses for over thirty years. When the first “Green Book” was published\, the American road was a metaphor for freedom: freedom to change your present situation\, determine your destiny\, and travel. Yet\, in 20th-century America\, this same road was a dangerous place for Black travelers. The land was divided by segregation — through policy and through custom. For Black people\, the prejudice was severe: a systematic effort to deny their basic human rights. In an era of Jim Crow laws and “sundown towns\,” communities that explicitly prohibited Black travelers from staying overnight\, the “Green Book” offered critical\, life-saving information and sanctuary. \nNow\, through The Negro Motorist Green Book\, visitors will explore film\, photographs\, interactives\, and oral histories from travelers and “Green Book” business owners; compare “Green Book” sites then and now; and appreciate historical objects from the Smithsonian and from a variety of “Green Book” sites. The exhibition includes artifacts from business signs and postcards to historic footage\, images\, and firsthand accounts that illustrate not just the apprehension felt by Black travelers\, but also the resilience\, innovation\, and elegance of people choosing to live a full American existence. \nDeveloped by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) in collaboration with award-winning author\, photographer\, and cultural documentarian\, Candacy Taylor\, Green Book offers an immersive look at the historic reality of travel for Black Americans and how the guide served as an indispensable resource for the rise of the Black leisure class in the United States. The exhibition highlights destinations created by Black Americans and strategies that affirmed their humanity\, their worth\, their light\, and their lives – and how it was done with ingenuity\, community\, and with help from Victor Green and his travel guide: “The Negro Motorist Green Book.”

SUMMARY:UNITY\, Maggie Wong
DESCRIPTION:The Spotlight Series at the Chinese American Museum of Chicago is pleased to present UNITY\, Maggie Wong’s first solo exhibition in Chicago. \nThrough various manipulations of newsprint via sculptural and print interventions pulled from the artist’s collection of Unity Newspaper\, the show depicts a version of childcare that supported revolutionary action\, particularly the publishing of Unity by the League of Revolutionary Struggle\, a radical communist group that emerged in 1978 upon the merger between the August 29th Movement\, a Chicano revolutionary organization\, and I Wor Kuen\, an Asian American revolutionary organization\, both influenced by Mao and followed Marxist-Leninist thought. \nThis system is what raised the artist and countless other now-grown adults that now serves as a point of departure to feel through a movement as a mothering environment. \nAbout the Artist:\nMaggie Wong (b.1988\, Oakland\, CA) is a visual artist attuned to materiality and sculpture’s disciplinary capacity to shape social space. She creates multidisciplinary works that focus on care labor\, sentimentality\, and collectivity. As a teacher. Maggie is interested in the interplay between informal and experiential education amidst formal art ecologies. She holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). She is currently the Educator-in-Residence at the Luminary\, and lecturer at SAIC. Her work has been shown at Mana Contemporary Chicago\, Comfort Station\, Annas Projects\, take care (LA)\, Temple Contemporary\, YBCA\, and 99cent Plus\, and has been written about in ArtForum and Sixty Inches from Center.

SUMMARY:Aesthetics of Loss
DESCRIPTION:AESTHETICS OF LOSS is a collection of work by seven artists who have experienced loss of family members recently. Their studios became places for grieving and understanding the sudden vacuum of losing loved ones either suddenly or over a long period of illness. Caregiving\, memory\, helplessness\, loss and the ultimate mystery of death are explored through painting\, print-making\, fibers\, ceramics\, photography\, installation and video. Some artists utilize objects and clothing left behind by their loved ones and transform them into artworks and some use ritual and natural materials as memorial or commemorative actions of grieving and coming to terms. \nEbti is a multidisciplinary artist\, a self-taught photographer and a translator living between Cairo and San Francisco. She received her MFA in Fine Art from the California College of the Arts in 2021. Her practice is informed by languages\, theater\, literature\, music and her family’s making-traditions she never got to learn. Through this multi- faceted\, dislocated lens she looks at the ideas of home\, belonging\, and attachment. Though her work is rooted in photography\, she is constantly looking for new materials and methods that will best translate her ideas. Once she starts working on a project\, she embraces notions of accident and failure. Her practice is ever-evolving and is influenced by her restlessness. \nCassidy Early (b. 1994\, Worcester\, MA) is a nonbinary Scottish American artist living and working in Chicago\, IL.

Hernández is a Chicana artist\, curator\, educator\, and death doula guided by socially-engaged values. In developing as an artist\, Brianna credits her late mother\, Sylvia D. Hernández\, as her most significant mentor. Brianna’s studio practice focuses on end-of-life care\, grieving processes\, and mourning rituals based on lived experience\, cultural research\, and collaborations with peers. In addition to formal artworks\, she offers workshops or viewers to self-educate on grief and end-of-life planning through the safety of the creative process. As a curator\, Brianna works with artists to make socially-charged topics publicly accessible in order to create opportunities for education and empathy. She also collaborates with community health researchers to incorporate the arts into public health projects through curatorial consulting. Brianna proudly serves as Director of Curation and Board Secretary at Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation in Southampton\, New York. \nLinda b.

SUMMARY:Surviving the Long Wars: Exhibition Close-Up and Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:This program will be held in-person at the Newberry. Advance registration required. \nJoin military veterans and poets Erika Renee Land\, Monty Little (Diné)\, Dunya Mikhail\, and Carlos Sirah for an evening of poetry exploring the disparate impacts of war and the search for a path toward solidarity. \nThis event will also provide a closer look at the Newberry exhibition Surviving the Long Wars: Residues and Rebellions. The exhibition coincides with the second Veteran Art Triennial and Summit\, held this year in Chicago. The exhibition at the Newberry is open February 28 – May 27\, 2023. \nAbout the SURVIVING THE LONG WARS Project:\nFrom the US “Indian Wars” to the “Global War on Terror\,” SURVIVING THE LONG WARS explores the multiple overlapping histories that shape our understanding of warfare\, as well as alternative visions of peace\, healing\, and justice generated by diverse communities impacted by war. \nInspired by the powerful artwork of Indigenous and Native American artists responding to the US “Indian Wars\,” and artists of the Greater Middle East reacting to the “Global War on Terror\,” the second Veteran Art Triennial and Summit focuses on how these artistic responses complicate and entangle with the artistic practices of veterans. The featured artworks\, projects\, and programs create opportunities for people to deepen their understanding of the impact of war. \nThe project began in September 2022 with a virtual scholarly seminar series at the nexus of critical ethnic studies\, Native/Indigenous studies\, and Middle Eastern Studies on the histories and futures of Native rebellion alongside contemporary US militarism and warfare. The project culminates in the spring 2023 second Veteran Art Triennial and Summit at the Chicago Cultural Center\, Hyde Park Art Center\, and Newberry Library. \nRelated Exhibitions and Programming: \nVeteran Art Summit: March 16 – March 19\, 2023 \nHyde Park Art Center Exhibition: March 16 – July 9\, 2023; Opening Program: March 17\, 2023 \nChicago Cultural Center Exhibition: March 4 – June 4\, 2023; Opening Program: March 18\, 2023 \nCredits: \nSURVIVING THE LONG WARS is organized by Aaron Hughes\, Ronak K.
