SUMMARY:Exhibition: “Unbearable Memories\, Unspeakable Histories”: Partition Anti-Memorial Project
DESCRIPTION:Through experiential art installations “Unbearable Memories\, Unspeakable Histories” investigates the Partition of India in 1947. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis year marks 75 years since the Partition of India in 1947\, which created Pakistan\, and eventually\, Bangladesh in 1971. Pritika Chowdhry’s experiential art installations are temporary ‘anti-memorials’ to the Partition. \nOften described as the Holocaust of South Asia\, the Partition triggered the largest migration in human history with over 20 million people displaced\, approximately 2 million killed and over 300\,000 women were abducted in the communal violence that ensued. \nThe exhibition addresses the many facets of the Partition from a counter-memory perspective through experiential art installations. The title alludes to the painful and silenced narratives that have been elided from mainstream discourses of the Partition. \nWhen a memory is unbearable\, how does one memorialize it? And when a history is unspeakable\, how does one talk about it? The exhibition’s title\, “Unbearable Memories\, Unspeakable Histories” alludes to the painful and silenced narratives that have been excluded from mainstream discourses of the Partition. \n\n_______________ \nARTIST LED TOURS AT 1PM EVERY OTHER SATURDAY! \nSep 3 and 17 | Oct 01\, 15 and 29 | Nov 12 | Dec 10

SUMMARY:A Show of Hands: Handwriting in the Age of Print
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, handwriting served as a powerful tool for communicating information\, preserving knowledge\, shaping identity\, and building empires. In our digital world\, however\, fewer and fewer people can read handwritten words. \nHandwriting has survived disruptive technologies before. The invention of printing did not diminish the need for handwriting. Instead\, it created new markets for ambitious printers and entrepreneurial writing teachers. These men and women used advances in print technologies to widen the influence of handwriting in everyday life. \nA Show of Hands focuses on people\, cultures\, and technology to illustrate how handwriting has been taught\, reproduced\, and reimagined over the past five hundred years. Displaying a range of books and manuscripts from the Newberry’s collection\, the exhibition makes the role of handwriting in the age of print newly legible. \nA Show of Hands is generously supported by the Richard C. von Hess Foundation\, the Fitzgerald Family Foundation\, and Diane and Richard Weinberg.

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. 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.\n  \nThis 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:Reset on the Road at Jane Addams Hull-House Museum
DESCRIPTION:About this event\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s your favorite scary story? And what makes it scary? Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons will explore all things fearsome at the historic (and plausibly haunted) Jane Addams Hull-House Museum on Wednesday\, October 26. Join us for this spooky live broadcast to learn about the cultural significance of creepy tales told throughout Chicago. \nPerhaps better known as a place of hope and social progress\, the paranormal past of Hull-House has long been hushed\, despite continued interest from ghost hunters. But current stewards of the institution are now reclaiming and celebrating its folklore\, including stories of the Lady in White\, the infamous Devil Baby and even a portal to hell. This free Reset on the Road event is crawling with opportunities to experience these urban legends firsthand! \nCome celebrate Halloween and watch radio happen in this notably eerie landmark. Wear a costume and you’ll get a treat!

SUMMARY:Syria: The Frontlines of Displacement
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS EVENT: \nJoin the co-editors of Witnesses to War: The Children of Syria\, Karam Foundation\, ART WORKS Projects\, and event sponsor\, Howard Conant\, Jr.\, for a discussion and exhibition of acclaimed photojournalist Bassam Khabieh’s nearly decade long project\, Witnesses to War: The Children of Syria. \nKhabieh (joining via live feed) and Lina Sergie Attar\, CEO and Founder of the Karam Foundation\, will be in conversation to discuss Khabieh’s unique and personal perspective\, the impact of the ongoing war in Syria on children\, and the ongoing challenges facing the 3.6 million registered Syrian refugees currently living in Turkey as well as those living in other parts of the globe. \nGlobally\, we have surpassed 100 million refugees worldwide\, most recently due to the war in Ukraine. While attention has been shifted to supporting Ukrainian refugees\, we welcome this opportunity to connect with our Chicago-land community members to draw lessons learned from different contexts and treatments of refugees\, and how we can take action. \nABOUT WITNESSES TO WAR: THE CHILDREN OF SYRIA \nWitnesses to War: The Children of Syria – book and exhibition – provides an insider’s account of the impact that the war in Syria has had on children. \nFrom the rebel held area of Eastern Ghouta\, Witnesses to War illustrates\, through photographs and stories\, the incredible resilience of Syria’s young in the face of violence. Children and their families held onto fragments of normalcy through schools conducted in basements\, street games played in the temporary lull of battle\, and events and holidays celebrated under tenuous conditions. \nKhabieh did not start out as a photographer. When the war broke out in Syria\, he was studying computer science at Damascus University. As the violence escalated there and around the country\, it was clear that there was an urgent need for Syrian photographers to ensure that the world knew what was happening in his increasingly isolated and dangerous homeland. Throughout the conflict—until mid-2018\, when the Syrian regime captured Douma\, his hometown—he remained in the region\, working as a photojournalist for many international media outlets and gaining international acclaim. \nIn this 11th anniversary year of the Syrian Arab Spring\, Syria remains in crisis. There are still millions of displaced people who are living in refugee camps either inside Syria or in Jordan\, Lebanon\, and Turkey. Thousands of missing detainees are suffering inside security interrogation centers. And\, the economic situation in Syria is deteriorating daily as poverty and hunger spread. \nBooks will be available for sale during the event. 100% of the proceeds go to outreach\, advocacy\, and the support of Syrian refugee youth and communities through Karam Foundation.

SUMMARY:Journey Chicago: Stories that Travel: Mythology\, Folklore\, and Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of Journey Chicago\, the Chicago Cultural Alliance’s annual citywide festival of cross-cultural events. \nA panel discussion focusing on the varied relationships different Diaspora communities have with the mythological & folklore stories of their culture of origin. We are specifically interested in interrogating the ways in which different communities invest in or distance themselves from their ancient/classical mythology and folklore in the American Diaspora\, and how those relationships have shifted over time. We will examine this question through both an academic & artistic lens. \n  \nOur Panel: \nAnna Cai (they/them) is a queer Indonesian Chinese American community-driven artist currently living in Chicago who explores the futurities of Asian diasporic identity through relationships\, textiles\, costume\, performance\, film\, graphic design\, and print media. At the center of their creative and social practice is a desire to steer their community into a future that embraces a transformation of fiction and reality and rejects outdated constructs of nation\, gender and capital. \nCai has received multiple awards for their work in art\, design\, and community engagement. They were a finalist in Lesotho Fashion Week of 2018 and their work in film has been selected for Lesotho Film Festival between the years of 2018-2020. Most recently they were a recipient of the 2020 New Artist Society scholarship\, the 2022 Caxton Book Club grant\, and Graphic Design USA’s 2022 Students to Watch Award. They are also a member of the 2022 Spring Tanda Artist Research fellowship program hosted by Chuquimarca Art Library in Chicago\, Illinois. They have collaborated with several organizations internationally including the Morija Arts Centre\, The Hub in Morija\, Lesotho Girls in Tech\, the Public Housing Authority of Residents in Charlottesville\, the White House Kitchen Garden initiative\, and the Chinese Historical Society of Memphis & the Midsouth. They have initiated numerous independent publications and initiatives such as The Morija Makers (2018)\, Stories from Westhaven (2016)\, and the upcoming Chicago-based independent magazine Tongues (2022). \nThey received a BS in Architecture from the University of Virginia. In 2016 to 2018 they served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Lesotho. Upon leaving the organization\, Cai apprenticed with a local textile artist and began exploring identity expression through wearable sculpture and performance. During this time\, they gained invaluable experience on how to build trusting relationships and engage in art-making that embraces an art practice at the intersection of community building\, education\, and design. They recently completed an MFA Visual Communication program at the School of the Arts Institute of Chicago where they were immersed in rituals that combine mythology\, pleasure\, play\, historical fabulation\, and the reclaiming of archives. \nDr. Katherine Kelaidis is the Director of Research and Content at the National Hellenic Museum. She has held research appointments at the American University in Cairo\, Oxford University\, and the Free University Berlin. She is also a Senior Editor at Religion Dispatches. Dr. Kelaidis holds a B.A. in Classical Languages from the University of California\, Berkeley and a Ph.D. in Classics from the University of London. \n  \nCori Nakamura Lin a midwest-based Japanese//Taiwanese-American illustrator and designer specializing in movement art and culture-centered storytelling.
