SUMMARY:Author Discussion with Sharon Hoogstraten
DESCRIPTION:Author Discussion and Q&A with Photographer and Author Sharon Hoogstraten (Citizen Band Potawatomi Nation) \nJoin us on Thursday\, October 6th\, 2022\, at 6:00 p.m. as we welcome photographer and author Sharon Hoogstraten to the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian. We invite you to this in-person conversation and Q&A to celebrate Hoogstraten’s work and the release of her new book\, Dancing for Our Tribe: Potawatomi Tradition in the New Millennium.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotographer and Citizen Potawatomi Sharon Hoogstraten has created a permanent record of present-day Potawatomis wearing the traditional regalia passed down through the generations\, but modified to reflect the influence and storytelling of contemporary life:   \n“In the last ten years of photographing and listening to personal stories\, it is regalia that forms the basis of my cultural exploration. Through my portraits\, I know these Potawatomi descendants are living modern lives\, while reflecting deeply on the ancestors whose footsteps we tread on. They are not wearing ‘costumes’ and unlike street clothes\, each dancer knows exactly where their clothing comes from and what it means. In charming ways\, artifacts of modern life make an appearance – a Nike sock\, Converse shoes\, beaded Hello Kitty medallion\, etc. Some are in full regalia\, and others\, just a ribbon shirt. These are contemporary Native people. What is most compelling to me is that they are both preserving and evolving ceremony and handcrafts for the seven generations going forward. I’ve titled this body of work Dancing for Our Tribe—Potawatomi Tradition in the New Millennium in honor of our dancers and because photography is my dance.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis intimate conversation with Sharon Hoogstraten is free for Mitchell Museum Members and $10 for non-members. Admission for Native citizens is always free. Tickets can be purchased onsite.     \nFor more information about this program\, please contact: info@mitchellmuseum.org | (847) 475-1030 | www.mitchellmuseum.org/events/

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: 9 Artists/ 9 Months/ 9 Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:9 Artists/ 9 Months/ 9 Perspectives features works by the collective\, Dandelion Black Women Artists. \nNine Black women artists engaged in collaborative efforts to create artworks that transcend and transform events in the year 2020. In their eyes\, art-making became a transgressive act through activism\, documentation and vision. Utilizing book-making\, craft-making and works on paper\, 9 Artists/9 Months/ 9 Perspectives presents a birth of vision under hardship felt worldwide\, collectively allowing us to reckon with our own perspectives\, reflections and welfare. This exhibition presents the conception\, gestation\, and birth of a collaborative artists’ books created by nine Black women artists of the collective\, Dandelion Black Women Artists. Their responses\, perspectives\, and reflections were inspired by the continuous struggle for health\, social\, and economic welfare of marginalized people during COVID-19\, the lack of response from the federal government\, and the political allyship of socio-political grassroots movements like Black Lives Matter. Craft-making became a transgressive act through artivism\, perspective\, and vision.

SUMMARY:Cultural Connections: East Meets Middle East
DESCRIPTION:East Meets Middle East (EMME) is a musical collective across continents celebrating the rich traditions of the Middle East and South Asia. \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\n**Limited Seating Capacity. ** Early Ticket Purchase Recommended. \nWhat happens when Indian sarod and tabla meet Middle Eastern oud and darbuka? \nEast Meets Middle East (EMME) is a musical collective across continents celebrating the rich traditions of the Middle East and South Asia. From Kolkata\, India\, Subrata Bhattacharya (tabla) and Abhisek Lahiri (sarod) collaborate with Ronnie Malley (oud) and George Lawler (percussion) in Chicago\, IL to create a cross-cultural palette of improvisations and original compositions. The group transcends boundaries creating musical dialogue by fluidly moving through raga and maqam\, tala and iqa\, the music theories and rhythms found in South Asia\, the Middle East\, and North Africa. \nEMME brings together related string instruments such as the Middle Eastern oud and the Indian sarod\, and percussion instruments like the Indian tabla and Middle Eastern darbuka and riq. The group’s message is to inform people\, through music\, about the similarities and distinctions between Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures\, which are all too often mistaken for each other in media\, politics\, and Western society. \nTheir debut album is a result of a live rehearsal from a first time encounter between these artists. The recording and collaboration highlight how arts can be an accessible means to foster more understanding about these cultures. \nPresented by South Asia Institute with Intercultural Music Production

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Owen HcHugh and Abstraction in the Permanent Collection
DESCRIPTION:Owen McHugh and Abstraction in the Permanent Collection\nSaturday\, October 8 – Sunday\, December 4\, 2022\nOpening Reception: October 8 12:00-4:00 pm\nThe Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art is delighted to announce Owen McHugh and Abstraction in the Permanent Collection. This exhibition highlights abstract\, non-representational works in UIMA’s Permanent Collection alongside Owen McHugh’s most recent works from 2017 to the present. Artists exhibiting from the Permanent Collection include Corey Postiglione\, Kathie Shaw\, John Hoyland\, Alexander Hunenko\, Martin Hurtig\, Lida Petruniak-Colucci\, Michael Mandziuk\, Irma Osadsa\, William Pura\, and David Samila.\nOwen McHugh is a local Chicago Artist deeply rooted in Abstraction throughout his career. He maintained his M.F.A from Northern Illinois University\, and he taught Two-Dimensional Design as well as painting and drawing courses at Columbia College Chicago for over forty years. His work is in many permanent collections including the National Museum of American Art\, State of Illinois Collection\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, IL.\nWhile many abstract artists gravitate to working within one stylistic approach in abstraction\, geometric or gestural\, McHugh attempts to bridge the two together. This ambiguous configuration of conflict\, becomes a metaphor of existence for McHugh. In his most recent years\, McHugh developed his own personal process in which he began an arrangement of organic forms that then underwent a transfiguration through repeated overlays and spattering\, modifying coloration and organic shapes in his beginning formations.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: At Home
DESCRIPTION:At Home: Cindy Bernhard\, Ellen Greene\, Ann Toebbe\, Gwendolyn Zabicki\nOCTOBER 8- DECEMEBR 4\, 2022\nThis exhibition presents works by four Chicago artists with a focus on paintings. As the exhibition title suggests\, the show’s premise is about the artist’s exploration of the layered emotional resonance of the concept of home. We have been living in a pandemic when most people have spent an unusually long time in their homes.Conversely\, around the world\, refugees have been forced to leave their homes\, some with the hope of returning and others seeking a new life and home. We are asking the question; what does home mean? Is it a familiarity with the environment\, or is home just an abstract place in our minds?\nIn the atmospheric paintings of Cindy Bernhard\, we can see imaginary interiors with pop culture elements\, food\, and motifs from lifestyle blogs. In her works\, she humorously critiques the nature of artifice and creates a vision of home as she wants to remember it. There are always pets\, a small dog or cat\, to add to the domesticity of the image.\nEllen Greene is looking back at domesticity and motherhood and the time when children are starting to assert their independence and leaving home years later. Some of her oil paintings depict the artist and her daughters. In others\, figures are absent; what remains is a respectable floral wall-papered pattern interrupted with childhood vandalism.\nAnn Toebbe’s paintings are reminiscent of architectural or design drawings\, but she fills them with personal objects worth a closer look. In these obsessively crafted paintings\, we see representations of the resident’s individuality and aesthetic choices. In each work\, furniture selections\, plants\, carpets\, knick-knacks\, and items are left around\, representing a home that cannot be replicated even if one wants to. These unfolded rooms are based on living spaces of the artist’s family\, friends\, and acquaintances\, recreated from memories or photographs.\nIn the works of Gwendolyn Zabicki\, intimate images of everyday life are quietly captured; brushing teeth\, drying hair\, or sleeping. These simple rituals happen every day\, unobserved or remembered. These events can only occur in the comfort and privacy of our homes.\nThe exhibition is curated by Stano Grezdo and Linda Dorman.

SUMMARY:9 Artists/ 9 Months/ 9 Perspectives features work by the collective\, Dandelion Black Women Artists
DESCRIPTION:Nine Black women artists engaged in collaborative efforts to create artworks that transcend and transform events in the year 2020.

Their responses\, perspectives\, and reflections were inspired by the continuous struggle for health\, social\, and economic welfare of marginalized people during COVID-19\, the lack of response from the federal government\, and the political allyship of socio-political grassroots movements like Black Lives Matter. Craft-making became a transgressive act through artivism\, perspective\, and vision.

SUMMARY:Reflections on 1919 with Eve L. Ewing
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation on 1919\, Black Chicago and Resilience. \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nA hot summer day set Chicago ablaze in 1919. Seventeen-year-old Eugene Williams crossed an invisible line in Lake Michigan that divided the segregated shores\, and he was killed by a group of white beachgoers. His death sparked a deadly 13-day riot. The fighting spread throughout the city\, then throughout the country in what became known as the Red Summer. In Chicago\, 38 people died\, more than 500 were injured\, and thousands were left homeless. \nThe ignition of the Red Summer proved that racism and prejudice had always existed in the north; it was just quieter here. And it’s a pervasive silence that’s lingered over a century – the scars of the Red Summer are still present\, open and bleeding in the underlying systems of inequity today. \nDr. Eve L. Ewing\, Chicago-based sociologist and poet\, explored the Red Summer and expanded on its lasting impact in her second collection of poems\, titled 1919. The book was recently adapted for the stage by J. Nicole Brooks and will make its world premiere at the Steppenwolf Theater this October. \nJoin WBEZ’s Sasha-Ann Simons for a reflective conversation about Chicago’s Red Summer with Dr. Ewing on October 12th at 7pm at the Logan Center. \nPhoto Credit: Mercedes Zapata

SUMMARY:Journey Chicago: That Belongs in a Museum! Suitcase Stories
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of Journey Chicago\, the Chicago Cultural Alliance’s annual citywide festival of cross-cultural events. \nEvery object has a story. And if it’s a cherished object that invokes our cultural identity\, the story is even more salient. It jogs our memory\, reminds us of close relationships\, takes us back in time and place. But these objects rely on us to tell their story. The premise of That Belongs in a Museum is simple: bring an object that speaks to your cultural identity or migration experience\, share the story behind it with our audience\, and tell why it belongs in a museum- real or imaginary. An earring passed down by grandma\, a faded map\, a family heirloom\, a keepsake (think Saris\, Glücksbringer\, a snippet of a Persian carpet\, monogrammed chopsticks\, prayer flags etc.) We will curate our own little exhibition of everyday objects from everyday people\, right on stage! \nSo look around the house\, the storage closet\, under the bed\, and inside the treasure chest to find the object that speaks to your cultural heritage. You will have 5 minutes on stage and convince the audience that it belongs in a museum. Join the other tellers who will share their funny\, emotional\, and poignant stories of the objects close to their heart. \nHere’s what you should say: \n\n What you brought\, even if it is obvious.\n Why you think it is neat.\n If you could summon a genie to put it in a museum–any museum–even if you had to make a new kind of museum for it to go in\, what that would be.\n\nThat Belongs in a Museum is brought to you by collaboration between Dank Haus\, The Abrahamic Center for Cultural Education (ACCE)\, and the National Indo-American Museum (NIAM). This trio of cultural institutions has come together with the support of the Chicago Cultural Alliance to celebrate the Journey Chicago festival. \nYour $5 ticket includes light refreshments and drinks. Please bring objects that will fit through the door and\, ideally\, you can hold it in your hand. No hazardous or illegal materials. We will choose 10 storytellers on a first come first served basis. \n
