Aftermaths: Artists in Conversation

Posted August 13, 2021

Tuesday, August 17, 2021 at 6:00-7:00 PM

Moderated by Chicago-based art historian Daniel Quiles, the artists from the exhibition will engage in a conversation that explores how their projects included in Aftermaths are a part of larger concerns and fit into the whole of their artistic practices. (RSVP required)

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Aftermaths is a group exhibition featuring artists who point to the bludgeoning effects of Western imperialism on the world, and the cultural phenomena that linger long after its initial encounters. Focusing largely on different approaches to archives of photography and film, the exhibition explores homologous aesthetic tactics employed by artists with attachments to Latin America and the Arab world.
