SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening - De:Lata
DESCRIPTION:Puerto Rican artist Bibiana Suárez’s colorful paintings with playful combinations of text and image from the new series she has titled De:Lata will be shown at NMPRAC starting March 10\, 2022. The title is a word play between the verb delatar\, to tell\, and the noun lata\, can\, the phrases dar lata\, to be a bore\, and de una lata\, from a can.  This is because what has inspired Suárez’s new body of work is her analysis of food labels and their misleading representation of contemporary Latinas. This series extends Suárez’s interest in the marketing of Latino culture. \nBorn and raised in Puerto Rico\, Bibiana Suárez has resided in Chicago since 1980. She has a BFA and MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is currently a Professor in The Art School at DePaul University. Suárez’s art is a laboratory where her personal experiences get tested against the socio- political conditions in which people of color live\, emphasizing the convergence between race\, politics\, and culture as applied to Puerto Ricans and other Latinos in the U.S.  Her solo exhibitions include Memoria(Memory)\, Hyde Park Art Center\, Chicago; Domino/Dominó\, Museo del Barrio\, NY and Illinois Arts Gallery. Among her most recent group exhibitions are Repatriación/Repatriation at Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico\, and Identity Play at Space Gallery\, Pittsburg.  She has received several awards including three Illinois Arts Council Individual Visual Artist Fellowships\, a NEA Regional Fellowship and was a fellow at the RACE Center\, University of Chicago\, the Ragdale Foundation\, and the Center for Latino Research\, DePaul University. \nImage:\nLa Fajona (The Hard Worker)\nacrylic on canvas\n52 x 78 ½ in.\n2018

SUMMARY:Somos La Plena
DESCRIPTION:A Chicago celebration of the life and legacy of Tito Matos\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nOn January 18\, 2022 the Puerto Rican cultural community was shocked by the news of the sudden departure of musical giant Tito Matos. After an extensive career as a master percussionist\, teacher and bandleader of Viento de Agua and La Máquina Insular\, Tito left a strong legacy of community work and cultural preservation in Puerto Rico and abroad. \nHis time living in New York\, as well as his relationship with Chicago’s musicians and cultural institutions allowed him to deepen his roots in the diaspora. He was a teacher\, mentor and friend for hundreds of plena practitioners across the globe. \nSRBCC is proud to partner with Tito’s closest friends from Puerto Rico and Chicago\, including Lagarto Figueroa\, Llonsi Martínez\, Ricardo Pons\, Noel Rosado\, Emanuel Santana (Puerto Rico)\, Ivelisse Díaz (La Escuelita Bombera de Corazón)\, Bomba con Buya \, Las Bompleneras and Los Pleneros de Don Segundo (Chicago) to celebrate his enduring legacy\, raise funds for La Casa de la Plena Tito Matos\, and establish a new scholarship for Chicago’s creative youth in his honor. \nJoin us in this Chicago celebration of the Life and Legacy of Héctor “Tito” Matos.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Ravi and Anoushka Shankar Live in Bangalore
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening and Discussion\nAbout this event\n**Please note that this is an in-person event** \nRavi and Anoushka Shankar Live in Bangalore (2012. 2hr.24min) On February 7\, 2012\, two months before his 92nd birthday\, Ravi Shankar performed with his daughter Anoushka at the sold-out Bangaluru Palace Grounds in Bangalore\, India. With a set including Raga Yaman Kalyan\, Raga Tilak Shyam\, Raga Khamaj\, and Folk medley\, they played for over three hours to the delight of an enthralled audience. Captured here on DVD and CD is the final and breathtaking Indian concert performance of the man who brought the cultural riches of the East to the West. Playing alongside Anoushka – dubbed by BBC Music Magazine a “star performer”—the unique father-daughter relationship serves to reinforce Ravi’s innate dedication and belief in the joy and hard work which are essential to creative expression. \n1925 S Michigan Ave. Chicago IL 60616 \nSAI is wheelchair accessible. \n*Proof of vaccination and masks are required by all attendees* \nParking is available around South Asia Institute\, metered\, and free street parking in the neighborhood.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Colors of Life
DESCRIPTION:Colors of Life by Elena Diadenko \n  \nElena was born and raised in Ukraine\, and immigrated to the United States in 1992. She received her first art degrees from Myrgorod Ceramics College and Lviv National Academy of Arts in Ukraine. Later\, she received two masters’ degrees in interdisciplinary art and art education from Columbia College in Chicago. She has lived and worked in Chicago for 30 years and currently works at Schurz High School as an art teacher. She teaches Multimedia Art and College Level Art classes.In 2004\, she won a Golden Apple Award for excellence in teaching art. She loves her students and is passionate about teaching them the different aspects of art. She has participated in more than 60 art exhibitions including solo and group shows and art fairs in the Chicagoland area. This is her first solo exhibition at the Ukrainian National Museum. At the show tonight\, visitors will see art works from throughout different periods of her life. Recently\, she is focusing on painting art works that explore invisible aspects of the spiritual world and our desire to see it. In her glass paintings she is trying to preserve Ukrainian folk culture using an ancient Ukrainian technique with black outlines. In her acrylic paintings she combines abstract with figurative styles. Inspiration comes from life around the artist: “The world is so strange\, so attractive\, so multi-faceted- I can’t help but love it. All that I do\, all that I paint\, comes out of this love I feel for the world\, for all that is alive in this world\, for my fellow travelers\, and for God.”

SUMMARY:Irish Art in Practice: Legacies of Justice
DESCRIPTION:The Irish American Heritage Center\, in partnership with the Consulate General of Ireland\, Midwest\, presents Irish Art in Practice. Join Jennifer Keating\, Ph.D. as she brings us through the world of Irish arts and artists\, and the living applications and impressions it makes on the world around us. Jennifer Keating is a Senior Lecturer and the Writing in the Disciplines Specialist in the William S. Dietrich II Institute for Writing Excellence. Most recently\, she served as Assistant Dean for Educational Initiatives in the Dietrich College for Humanities and Social Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. She brings an educator’s perspective to this fascinating series. \nLegacies of Justice\, March 3rd\, 7:00pm CST\nIn 2014 filmmaker Mairéad McClean was awarded the MAC International prize for her film No More. This meditation on the implications of Internment Without Trial in 1971 resonated the world over as evidence of torture and prisoner abuse emerged from Guantanamo Bay to Abu Ghraib. In Legacies of Justice we will screen the short film and discuss its explorations and symbolism. McClean\, daughter of civil-rights activist Paddy-Joe McClean\, interrogates concepts of security and the political contortions of conflict in this work. Together we will discuss its poetic meditation on these infringements on human rights in the name of security\, as we also bring examples like Rita Duffy’s painting\, Guantanamo amas amat\, and Paula McFetridge’s staging of Convictions in the Crumlin Road Courthouse\, to bear on the conversation.

SUMMARY:Swedish American Museum Book Club Online
DESCRIPTION:The Museum book club reads a wide range of books from the Nordic countries.\nThis is a free event and you can register by emailing museum@samac.org. \nHere are the upcoming book club books:\nFebruary\nAntiphony by Laila Stien\nMarch\nPakkis by Khalid Hussain \nThe books can be bought in the Museum Store. \nAbout Antiphony\nThe narrator\, a young social scientist who works for a newspaper in Oslo\, goes to Northern Norway on leave after a colleague tells her she lacks initiative. On the surface she is supposed to write a book about structural relationships among the Sami (formerly Lapps). However\, loneliness\, in spite of a good social life with her friends in Oslo\, a tense relationship with her own family\, and a feeling of stagnation in her career seem to be the main reasons for her going away. \nShe becomes acquainted with three generations of Sami women\, hears their stories and attempts to make sense of them. Soon she loses her role as impartial observer and becomes more involved in their lives. The more she discovers\, the less she feels she understands. \nThe novel presents a wonderful picture of Sami culture in transition and in the face of inevitable outside forces. In this sense it is a much more universal work demonstrating how an indigenous culture reacts to a dominant culture and what happens over the course of a relatively short period. The novel is also an anti- or non-ethnography in a sense\, blurring the lines between the center/periphery (narrator/Sami women). \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83441966464

SUMMARY:Genealogy Session Online
DESCRIPTION:Swedish Settlements on the South Shore\nBy Kenneth Schoon \nImmigrants from Sweden were the first non-English speaking people to move into the Indiana Dunes region and establish settlements.  Their legacy can be seen today. \nThis program\, and its accompanying book\, note that these Swedes established more than a dozen local churches\, most of which are still active today.  They built homes out of logs\, lumber\, and bricks\, cleared and farmed the land\, worked for the railroads and the brick factories\, and established businesses\, some of which are still in business today.  Several of the early Swedes served in the Union army in the Civil War.  Nearly all got American citizenship\, and some were elected to political office. \nThe fourth of July was widely celebrated\, but so were Swedish traditions at Midsummer and the Christmas season.   Today descendants of Swedes still learn Swedish songs and dances and celebrate the traditions of their forbears.  Even non-Swedes know about Vikings and may eat Swedish meatballs.  Smörgåsbord has become an American word—though to Swedes it has slightly different meaning.  Swedes and their descendants have helped build the Calumet Area. \nKenneth Schoon is the author of “Swedish Settlements on the South Shore of Lake Michigan.” Although not a Swede\, he is married to the granddaughter of Swedish immigrants. His earlier works include Calumet Beginnings\, Dreams of Duneland\, and Shifting Sands\, all published by Indiana University Press\, and City Trees published by Stackpole Books. \nCost is free for Swedish American Museum Genealogical Society members; $10 for non-members to participate. Member reservations appreciated and can be made via email to genealogy@samac.org or by calling the Museum at 773.728.8111 and non-members can use the button below.
