SUMMARY:What is Seen and Unseen: Mapping South Asian American Art in Chicago
DESCRIPTION:What is Seen and Unseen: Mapping South Asian American Art in Chicago is a ground-breaking exhibition documenting this amorphous history of art production and presentation. This is the first comprehensive exhibition to map and disseminate this vital chapter of Chicago’s art history. \nThe survey comprises two parallel exhibitions: Shadows Dance Within the Archives\, an archival exhibition of over 125 years of under-documented exhibition and cultural history\, and Are Shadow Bodies Electric?\, a thematic exhibition featuring 8 contemporary artists who are creating surreal and/or unclassified shadow bodies that exist outside of time\, place and space. \nThe exhibition narrative begins with colonial-era perspectives\, including those reflected in documentation from the Indian Pavilion at the World’s Columbian Exposition and the Indian delegation at the World’s Parliament of Religions\, both held in conjunction in 1893\, in Chicago. A notable highlight of What is Seen and Unseen is the documentation from Dr. Ananda K. Coomaraswamy’s earliest known solo exhibition in 1920\, which has long been forgotten. \nFrom this point\, What is Seen and Unseen examines the growing interest in and acquisition of Asian antiquities in the United States in the 1920s-40s\, how this relates to the bigger story of Orientalism and modern art\, and why select permutations of this phenomenon were presented in Chicago’s cultural institutions. \nThe exhibition also acknowledges the influence of South Asian art\, literature\, film\, performing arts\, and spirituality on American counterculture movements from the early 1900s to the 1980s\, including the Theosophical Society\, Tagore Circle\, Beat Generation\, 1967s Summer of Love and its legacy\, and underscores how these art forms continue to mark Chicago’s cultural landscape. \nLastly\, What is Seen and Unseen maps a route through the contemporary era\, from the 1990’s to today. Chicago has a 30+ year history of contemporary exhibitions and public programs that have featured South Asian American artists\, and this section of the exhibition focuses on senior\, mid-career\, and emerging artists who have made Chicago home and are reshaping the art and life of the city. \nWhile this exhibition endeavours to offer a comprehensive portrayal of the South Asian American art experience\, critical silences\, gaps\, and fractures exist in the historical record. This project will hopefully encourage additional efforts at mapping and contextualizing these under-documented South Asian American art histories in Chicago and across the United States. \nA series of public presentations and a symposium will be held to complement this exhibition. \nThe exhibition is part of the Terra Foundation’s Art Design Chicago 2024\, a citywide collaboration that highlights Chicago’s artistic heritage and creative communities. This is the first comprehensive exhibition to map and disseminate this vital chapter of Chicago’s art history.

All materials will be provided. \n————- \nJoin Chinese Paper-cutting (剪纸) Artist Lucy P. Liu in this dynamic and hands-on paper-cutting workshop. Lucy will discuss the history and traditions of paper cutting\, typical paper-cut patterns\, and engage in a workshop where guests can learn and create their own paper-cutting masterpieces.  All materials will be provided. This workshop is open to all skill levels. \nAbout the Instructor \nPaper-cutting artist Lucy P. Liu has spent years infusing her paper-cutting art into beautiful public art\, wall art\, illustrations\, home decor\, and more with 3D and 2D formats. She has been an ‘Artist in Residence’ at the Chinese American Museum of Chicago and here at the Heritage Museum of Asian Art. Her vivid demonstration and artwork was exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago in 2020. Lucy has instructed Chinese paper-cutting art courses at Benedictine University\, Lifelong Learning Center\, Forest Lake College\, the Chicago Public Library\, the Lab Schools of University of Chicago\, the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy and many more. \nAbout Paper-cutting \nChinese paper-cutting is a cherished traditional art that dates back to the development of paper\, around the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-220 A.D.). Initially\, it gained popularity for decorating doors and windows as paper became more widely available. Intricate designs\, featuring symbols and animals\, are crafted using scissors or art knives. With the increasing affordability of paper\, paper-cutting evolved into one of the most significant forms of Chinese art. In typical Chinese paper-cutting\, each individual art piece is cut from a single sheet of paper. \nOriginal paper-cutting artwork has been known to considerably appreciate in value over time. Since 2009\, the Chinese Paper-cutting technique has been considered a World Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. From ancient times to today\, Chinese paper-cutting art has been a popular decoration for festivals and events\, like Chinese New Year\, weddings\, childbirth\, and birthdays. They are also known as chuanghua (窗花)\, meaning ‘window flowers’ because it first gained popularity for decorating doors and windows. \nPaper-cuts typically symbolize good luck\, blessings\, and happiness. Traditionally\, five colors are used: cyan\, red\, yellow\, white\, and black\, which reference the ancient Chinese philosophy of the universe among the five elements: wood (cyan)\, fire (red)\, earth (yellow)\, metal (white)\, and water (black). Red is the most commonly used color\, representing luck and prosperity. \nPlease note that events may be canceled or postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. \n“AAPI Heritage Month Cultural Festival 2024” is sponsored by Chicago Community Trust. \nPhoto by Jasmine Carter \nAccessibility \nThe Heritage Museum of Asian Art’s Entrance is on West 35th Street.  Take the elevator to the third floor and turn right to the Museum Reception Desk. Accessible and standard toilets are located on the same floor.

SUMMARY:Rusalka at the Rosehill Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ouroboros Opera at the Rosehill Cemetery for an unforgettable evening of music and drama. \nSet in a wild wood full of fae sprites\, Rusalka is guaranteed to delight. The story is quite familiar to us\, resembling The Little Mermaid but told from Slavic origins. Rusalka\, a water sprite\, longs to be human and to experience love with a handsome prince she’s seen in the woods. Her father warns her only woe will come from such things but Rusalka is driven to know exactly what life is like beyond the waters edge. This is a story of longing\, of wishing desperately to catch a glimpse of something more than the life we live. Join us as we peer into moonlit waters and discover what might be just under the surface.

SUMMARY:“一家之主”：女性，母性，依属&自主 “Reclaim”: Womanhood\, Motherhood\, and In/Dependence – Movie Screening and Discussion with KAN-WIN
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this event is in Mandarin 本次活动将全程使用中文进行。 \nThis event includes a movie screening followed by a discussion about the movie. Centering on a woman in her late 50s/early 60s who has lived her life for others–husband\, children\, parents–the movie depicts traditional gender roles embedded commonly in Asian families. Through guided discussion\, participants will have an opportunity to explore further and deeper experiences and struggles an Asian woman might undergo during her life\, especially how to “reclaim” her independence as a capable wife\, a caring mother\, and a successful career woman. \n活動包括電影放映和有關電影的討論。這部電影以一位 50 歲末/60 歲出頭的女性為中心，她為他人（丈夫、孩子、父母）而活，描繪了亞洲家庭中普遍存在的傳統性別角色。透過引導式討論​​，參與者將有機會進一步深入探討亞洲女性一生中可能經歷的經歷和掙扎，特別是如何在一個有能力的妻子、一個有愛心的母親和一個成功的職業婦女的多重角色中重申自己的自主性。 \nPlease note that events may be canceled or postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. \n“AAPI Heritage Month Cultural Festival 2024” is sponsored by Chicago Community Trust. \nEvent Agenda \n1:00  Door Open \n1:20  Introduction \n1:30-3:30  Movie Screening \n3:30-3:40  Stretch & Break \n3:40-4:20  Discussion \n4:20-4:30  Closing Remarks \n4:30 End \n  \nAbout KAN-WIN \nKAN-WIN’s mission is to eradicate gender-based violence\, including domestic violence and sexual assault\, especially for women and children across Asian American communities and beyond through culturally competent services\, community engagement\, and advocacy. \nAccessibility \nThe Heritage Museum of Asian Art’s Entrance is on West 35th Street.  Take the elevator to the third floor and turn right to the Museum Reception Desk.
