SUMMARY:The Paglees: Between Reason and Madness
DESCRIPTION:South Asia Institute is pleased to announce its new exhibition\, “The Paglees: Between Reason and Madness\,” in collaboration with the Paglees. \nThe Paglees is a feminist collective of artists of South Asian origin living across the United States. Paglee or pagli means crazy woman in a number of South Asian languages. The Paglees are: Fawzia Khan\, Indrani Nayar-Gall\, Monica Jahan Bose\, Nirmal Raja\, Pallavi Sharma\, Renluka Maharaj\, and Shelly Bahl. \nIn their debut exhibition\, The Paglees investigate – with fierceness\, beauty\, and wit – the impact on women of generations of patriarchy\, religion\, white supremacy\, colonialism\, violence\, capitalism\, and environmental plunder. \nThe title of the exhibition derives from Rosa Parks’ words: “There is just so much hurt\, disappointment and oppression one can take. The bubble of life grows larger. The line between reason and madness grows thinner.” (Rosa Parks: Writings\, Notes and Statements\,1956-58). \nFeaturing mixed-media works on paper\, fabric\, and canvas\, sculpture\, performance\, photography\, installation\, and moving image\, The Paglees: Between Reason and Madness\, questions and reframes the labeling of non-conforming women as crazy and the marginalization of immigrant women of color. This collective exhibition presents new decolonial narratives that center the reason and wisdom of brown women of the Global South and diaspora\, and provide pathways to a creative feminist future. The Paglees believe in working in collaboration with other marginalized communities to build bridges and demand social\, environmental\, and legal justice for all. \nTHE PAGLEES\nFawzia Khan | Indrani Nayar-Gall | Monica Jahan Bose | Nirmal Raja | Pallavi Sharma | Renluka Maharaj | Shelly Bahl

SUMMARY:Immense Journeys
DESCRIPTION:Immense Journeys: Art\, Nature\, Science and Beyond\nFeaturing Melissa Jay Craig\, Lisa A. Frank\, Anne Hughes  \nOn display until March 3rd\, 2024  \nMelissa Jay Craig\, Lisa A. Frank\, and Anne Hughes lead lives rich in creative experiences informed by nature. Day by day\, art practice and the natural world awaken shoots of imaginative reflections and actions. This exhibition brings together varied\, visual art forms to stand on their own and resonate off the others through surprising interconnections (just like nature itself). A purposeful confluence provides many pathways into appreciation of process and range. It allows for thoughtful exploration of the infinite ways in which nature affects our lives and we affect nature. Presented here are works by three artists who\, over decades\, have embraced the wonders of nature and witnessed results of human actions and inactions. Deepfelt desires\, to share their personal artworks and stir the passions of others to engage\, reside at the heart of this exhibition. There is no one-way in. Creativity and nature inspire\, confound\, amaze\, and amuse.

SUMMARY:Fundraiser: The Negotiator: Billy Caldwell Documentary
DESCRIPTION:Date: 2024-06-20 \nLocation:  \n9603 Woods Drive \nSkokie\, \nIL \n60077 \nUnited States \n  \n\nA Fundraiser for Mitchell Museum of the American Indian: The Negotiator: Billy Caldwell Documentary \nThursday\, June 20 |  7 PM film showtime \n\nAs one of the treaty signers in 1829 and 1833\, Billy Caldwell and others negotiated the sale of 5\,000\,000 acres of land in northwest Illinois\, resulting in the removal of all Native American tribes in the state of Illinois. Billy Caldwell\, son of a Mohawk woman\, Rising Sun and British Army Captain\, William Caldwell was a leader in early Chicago.  Although he was not a blood relative of the Great Lakes tribes in the area in 1833\, Caldwell worked to negotiate the safe passage of the United Nations of Chippawa\, Ottawa and Potawatomi out of the state of Illinois and west to Council Bluffs\, Iowa. Today\, Caldwell’s Band of Prairie People now live in Mayetta\, Kansas as the federally-recognized tribe of Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. This documentary explores these actions through research and interviews with local subject experts.

SUMMARY:Get Your Architectural Kitsch on Route 66
DESCRIPTION:Called the Mother Road\, U.S. Highway 66 has been a fixture in American history since its inception in 1926. Join us for a trip along the highway – known simply as Route 66 – as we look at the best examples of what has been called Roadside Architecture: the visual reflections of the American regions the road crisscrossed. \nRoute 66 was an exploration trail to America’s west\, became a migration trail from the Dust Bowl to California\, a military transport road during World War II\, and later reverted to a tourism trek. Typically\, the vernacular architecture along the way was suited for its purpose as gas stations\, eateries or souvenir shops\, all new building types in the 1930s. Over the years\, the architectural styles illustrated what many would call “kitsch\,” defined as cheaply made\, disposable\, accidental or even tacky. Have some fun\, get your kicks – and kitsch – on Route 66. \nPresenter: Ellen Shubart \nA lifelong Chicagoan\, CAC docent Ellen Shubart spent more than two decades as a journalist\, taught at the college level and ended her career as an advocate for sustainable city planning. A historian by training\, with advanced degrees in U.S. History and Historic Preservation\, she has written four books all with an emphasis on the history of the City of Chicago: What’s With Chicago?\, Images of America: Glencoe\, Illinois\, Taylor Street\, Chicago’s Little Italy and most recently\, Chicago: An Illustrated Timeline.

SUMMARY:Splinter: A Romantic Comedy
DESCRIPTION:A play for those held captive by theater itself. On the border of illusion and reality\, the only constant is human feeling.\nAfter a glorious Chicagoland premiere of Splinter: A Romantic Comedy in Wheeling and Evanston\, IL\, the play will be performed again at The Edge Theater at 5451 N Broadway\, Chicago\, IL 60640 on Friday January 26th at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday January 27th at 6:00 p.m.\nSplinter is a kind\, light romantic comedy\, based on French drama masterpieces. You will laugh and be a little sad. You will get a huge boost of optimism. The play is about love of the theater\, about friendship and fidelity\, and about the ability to dream. It is a sensitive and touching story about the theatrical world\, where it is difficult at times to distinguish what is an illusion and what is reality. The only constant is human feeling. \nLearn more about Splinter Theatre – www.splintertheatre.com\nFollow us on Facebook – https://fb.me/e/3673fzYtE \nAbout Splinter\nThe aging actress dreams of returning to the theater\, making new friends and losing old ones. Elizabeth is unrestrainedly devoted to her only passion – the stage. In it\, she finds the strength to live\, feel\, love and hope. Theater is in her blood. It is like a splinter that does not let you forget about yourself…The action of this poetic and poignant performance takes place in a small run-down hotel. Next to the former (or maybe just failed) actress are two men. One is a lover to whom a girlfriend is already a burden. The other is an uncouth bellboy. With the help of the main character\, he can approach the alluring and hitherto inaccessible world of theater. In the fictional world of Elizabeth\, touching\, naive and magnificent dreams are born and die\, and the soul of a delightful dreamer and woman blossoms.

SUMMARY:Notes from the Field
DESCRIPTION:Witness the powerful stories of 19 individuals fighting to overcome and transform America’s education and criminal justice systems.\nTHIS STRIKINGLY INTIMATE PIECE presents snapshots from a variety of real people\, documenting their intersections with the American dream and the obstacles that work to block them from it. Utilizing verbatim dialogue pulled from more than 250 accounts from students\, faculty\, prisoners\, activists\, politicians\, and victims’ families\, Notes from the Field takes audiences on an emotional journey through the faults and injustices of an American criminal justice system that seems more focused on incarceration over education. Deeply human\, profoundly moving\, and full of moments of humor\, compassion\, and resilience\, it’s a masterful work that asks you to observe\, be present\, and join the call for urgent and necessary change. \nOriginally performed by creator Anna Deavere Smith as a one-woman show\, in TimeLine’s Chicago premiere\, three actors weave together narratives of change makers\, activists\, and those caught within the system for an evening of theatre unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
