Gather Together: Chicago Street Photography by Diane Alexander White
2022-09-16 - 2023-04-30 | National Hellenic Museum, 333 S. Halsted St., Chicago, IL, 60661, United States
In this new exhibition, the Chicago-based Greek American photographer presents 80 historic works showcasing Chicago’s Greek American celebrations alongside other ethnic and cultural festivals and parades, primarily from the 1970s and 1980s. Depicted events include the Greek Independence Day Parade, Bud Billiken Day Parade, Chinese New Year Parade, Mexican Civic Society Parade, Jewish Festival and many more.
The National Hellenic Museum’s mission is to share Greek history, art and culture, and the Greek American experience. Diane’s works vividly capture how Chicago’s Greek American community gathers in the public space to show pride in its identity and share its culture. Through her images of other ethnic and cultural celebrations, Diane also explores the universality of how Chicagoans gather together to show pride in their diverse communities.
Gather Together: Chicago Street Photography by Diane Alexander White will be exhibited at the National Hellenic Museum through April 30, 2023. Museum hours are Thursday-Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. For more information, visit nationalhellenicmuseum.org or call 312-655-1234.
