SUMMARY:FORCE! An Opera in Three Acts at the Museum of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:This is an opera\, but what is an opera? If opera is defined simply as “big work\,” what could be blacker? FORCE! features a live band that blends gospel\, folk\, pop\, and jazz\, with experimental dance\, song\, and the spoken word. As the work unfolds\, characters reveal layered interiors creating a strange sisterhood with the power to disintegrate walls that blooms in the shadows of the prison industrial complex. As the artists manifest the free worlds of which they dream on stage\, their voices resound with collective power. A meditation on often-overlooked spaces—prison waiting rooms—FORCE! travels through silence\, sound\, and rhythm to dissipate borders between performers and audience members and question who truly controls how their time is spent. \nComprised of a Chicago-based cast\, FORCE! is created by Anna Martine Whitehead alongside co-music directors\, Ayanna Woods and Teiana Davis; co-composers\, Phillip Armstrong and Angel Bat Dawid; and is devised in collaboration with performers Zachary Nicol\, Jenn Freeman\, Rahila Coats\, Eva Supreme\, Nexus J\, Daniella Hope\, Brittany Brown\, Kai Black\, and Wyatt Wadell; with extra help from Tramaine Parker and Jasmine Mendoza. \nSince late 2019\, FORCE! has developed as an iterative re-imagining of performance practice\, constantly re-centering care\, consent\, queer divergence\, and rest. The creative team re-imagines rehearsal protocols and releases disciplinary categories to build an abolitionist feminist theater practice. This project gathers lessons from lichens and other emergent strategies\, direct actions\, and mutual aid societies and leverages sound and movement as vectors for processing state violence and racial capitalism. Using the prison as a particular prism through which we can bear witness to the ways carceral systems replicate themselves. FORCE! is also an attempt to abolish the Prison Industrial Complex in the audience and artist’s heads\, hearts\, and houses. \nLibretto by Anna Martine Whitehead. Composed by Ayanna Woods\, Anna Martine Whitehead\, Angel Bat Dawid\, and Philip Armstrong. \nThis performance is part of On Stage: Resonance\, organized by Tara Aisha Willis\, former Curator in Performance\, with Laura Paige Kyber\, Curatorial Associate. \nRun time: 90-100 min \nContent Warning: \nThis performance begins in the theater lobby. Audiences will take a behind the-scenes route to their seats with the performers as their guides. All seating for this performance is on stage. A live band plays in close proximity to the audience. The performance includes the use of theatrical haze. It also features loud sounds and bright\, moving lights throughout. \nEar plugs are available upon request for all performances. If you need wheelchair seating or have limited mobility\, staff members are available to assist you. \nThe performance on Saturday\, March 30\, includes CART captioning and Audio Description. \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/anna-martine-whitehead-force-an-opera-in-three-acts/

SUMMARY:Justice Stephen Breyer at Francis W. Parker School
DESCRIPTION:Honorably serving for twenty-eight years as U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer challenges the textualist philosophy of the court’s supermajority with insightful analysis and arguments for a more nuanced view of Constitutional interpretation. Emphasizing the consequential impacts of major legal decisions\, Breyer upends the prevailing textualism approach as outlined in his book Reading the Constitution: Why I Chose Pragmatism\, Not Textualism. Former Justice Breyer and CNN senior Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic connect with Chicago Humanities to expand on his views for a flexible\, evolving Constitution. Breyer asserts that pivotal cases like Dobbs and Bruen were incorrectly decided. They underscore the importance of considering the intent and repercussions of legal statutes and offer a compelling case for a more balanced interpretation of law. \nAccessibility: ASL Interpreted\, Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/breyer-biskupic/

Commissioned by the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA)\, the film features Lamelas interviewed by Marilyn and Larry Fields Curator Carla Acevedo-Yates.

He was a key figure within the Argentinian avant-garde during the 1960s\, participating in landmark exhibitions at the Instituto Torcuato di Tella in Buenos Aires and representing Argentina at the Venice Biennale in 1968. He then studied at Saint Martin’s School of Art in London and showed his work in pioneering exhibitions of conceptual art throughout the 1970s in Europe and the United States. He moved to Los Angeles during the mid-1970s and since then has divided his time between the United States\, Europe\, and South America.

SUMMARY:“This Living Earth – Our Shared Gaia” exhibition showcase at Beverly Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:WHO: Beverly Arts Center in partnership with the Beverly Area Arts Alliance – https://www.thebeverlyartscenter.com | https://beverlyarts.org/\nWHAT: “This Living Earth – Our Shared Gaia” Exhibition\nWHEN: April 5 – 27\, 2024\nWHERE: Beverly Arts Center\, Simmerling 2nd Floor Gallery\, 2407 W. 111th St\, Chicago\, IL 60655 \nARTISTS’ RECEPTION\n“This Living Earth — Our Shared Gaia” opening reception will be held on Friday\, April 5\, 2024\, 6:00-8:00 p.m. Admission to the family-friendly exhibition and reception is free to the public.\nFacebook Event Invitation: https://www.facebook.com/events/1090169548901618 \nBeverly Arts Center is pleased to present the art exhibition titled “This Living Earth – Our Shared Gaia” in its second floor gallery\, which is a cross section of visual observations from nature by 12 northern Illinois / Indiana artists in a variety of media. Both naturalism and abstraction are investigated by this group of artists: Sharon Bladholm\, Gabriella Boros\, Victoria Fuller\, Kathryn Gauthier\, Fletcher Hayes\, Mike Barret Kolasinski\, Basia Krol\, Deborah Maris Lader\, Kim Laurel\, Dorothy Mason\, Gregory Mejia\, Renee McGinnis. \nThe Gaia theory as a world concept focuses on observing how the biosphere and the evolution of life forms contribute to the stability of our planet. Hortus Botanicus (the botanical garden) is the underlying common influence that permeates each of these artists’ work\, whether of landscape\, plant\, water and animal study or as allegorical metaphors for our natural world in flux. Works exhibited are a figurative treatment of our nature subjects sometimes alluding to other symbolic meanings. \nThose symbols of our natural world are expanded on as pattern\, texture\, color\, form and light. We invite you to observe this diverse group of visual expressions compiled by the curator/artist team of Kim Laurel and Fletcher Hayes. \n“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.” — Henry David Thoreau \nAccessibility: Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1090169548901618

SUMMARY:Politics of Poetics: CAConrad
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nJoin us for a reading with poet CAConrad in celebration of the new series Politics of Poetics. \nASL and CART captioning are provided. \nAbout the Series\nPolitics of Poetics is a new quarterly program series held in the MCA’s Edlis Neeson Theater that highlights today’s leading poets whose practices traverse the political through writing\, teaching\, and activism. The series invites poets from across the globe to give readings and be in conversation with artists and other thinkers about the themes in their work. Historically\, poets and visual artists have benefitted from close collaboration and artistic exchange\, sharing in technical approaches and critical ideas of the day. Like many of the artists exhibited at the MCA\, these poets take up critical issues in their work while propelling voices\, stories\, and thoughts under-seen and under-regarded in traditional canons. \nAbout the Speaker\nCAConrad has worked with the ancient technologies of poetry and ritual since 1975. Their latest book is Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return (Wave Books / UK Penguin 2024). They received the Ruth Lily Poetry Prize\, a PEN Josephine Miles Award\, a Creative Capital grant\, a Pew Fellowship\, and a Lambda Award. They exhibit poems as art objects with recent solo shows in Spain and Portugal\, and their play The Obituary Show was made into a film in 2022 by the artist Augusto Cascales.

SUMMARY:Judith Butler: Who’s Afraid of Gender? at Music Box Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Judith Butler’s groundbreaking work\, and their theory of gender performativity\, has had a vast influence on contemporary scholarship in feminism and gender studies. In Butler’s latest work\, Who’s Afraid of Gender?\, they tackle the global rise of right-wing movements that seek to nullify reproductive justice\, undermine protections against sexual and gender violence and strip trans and queer people of their rights. Butler draws upon an array of approaches to gender to expose how authoritarian and fascist politics rely on a frightening phantasm of gender. Chicago Humanities welcomes this iconic thought leader for a timely discussion that offers rigorous analysis\, hope\, freedom and solidarity in confronting the reactionary politics that seek to intensify marginalization and inequality. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/judith-butler/

SUMMARY:The Verge AI Sessions: AI and Humans at School of the Art Institute of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The proliferation of artificial intelligence tools has created a flood of AI-generated content online\, much of it spammy\, inaccurate\, or even abusive. In her coverage\, The Verge reporter Mia Sato documents how generative AI is being used to accelerate the production of junk online and entrench existing disparities around art and labor. She’ll offer primers on how to spot this kind of AI-generated content — but is there another way forward to harness AI? \nArtists and technologists are exploring fascinating ways to use AI that probe creative limitations and cut at the very question of what “human-made” can look like. Join The Verge journalist Mia Sato and pioneering artists and thinkers in the field to examine where AI-powered content appears today\, and how automated tools could be used in the future. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/verge-ai-human/

SUMMARY:The Verge AI Sessions: Art Creator or Thief? at School of the Art Institute of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:What guardrails do artists need in a new age of artificial intelligence? As artists voice concerns about AI replacing their work or using their creative intellectual property to train AI models without proper consent or compensation\, lawmakers are beginning to take notice. The essence of this debate — what artists seek and how regulations should adapt — often remains overshadowed by broader discussions on copyright law and regulation.

SUMMARY:Samita Sinha\, Tremor at the Museum of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:Tremor is artist and composer Samita Sinha’s latest performance work. In the piece\, Sinha explores what she describes as “the practice of attuning oneself to the raw material of vibration and its emergence in space\, as well as unfolding the possibilities that arise from encounters between this sonic material and other individuals.” Tremor is born from Sinha’s practice of decomposing\, distilling\, and transforming Indian vocal traditions through the body\, employing sound as a vessel that harnesses and liberates energy through oneself. Through this practice\, what emerges is a new language with the potential to challenge our thinking\, reconfigure our relationships\, and open new forms of collaboration. In Tremor\, Sinha asks how we might reactivate our relationship to life itself through our sense of vibration\, despite the numbing and distorting effects of coloniality and modernity. How can our voices be vessels to repair the fabric of our interconnection and open generative possibilities? How can we relearn to listen? \nPerformed in relationship to a live sonic environment created by composer Ash Fure\, and within a space designed by architect Sunil Bald\, Sinha is joined on stage each night by a rotating cast of sound-and movement-based collaborators. The casting schedule will be announced in the coming months. \nTremor was co-commissioned by Western Front (Vancouver\, CA) and Danspace Project (New York). \nThis performance is part of On Stage: Resonance\, organized by Tara Aisha Willis\, former Curator in Performance\, with Laura Paige Kyber\, Curatorial Associate. \nRun time: 60-75 min \nContent Warning: \nSeating for this performance is general admission and on stage. A limited number of cushions are available for sitting on the floor\, and provide the closest proximity to the performance.
