SUMMARY:Open Door: Arnold Kemp\, AJ McClenon\, Ayanah Moor & isra rene
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a live in-person reading with Arnold Kemp\, AJ McClenon\, Ayanah Moor\, and isra rene. The Open Door series highlights creative relationships in Chicago\, including mentorship and collaboration. \nArnold J. Kemp is an artist and writer. Kemp has mounted solo shows at The Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society at the University of Chicago; Joan\, Los Angeles; M. LeBlanc\, Chicago; and Martos Gallery\, New York. His writing has appeared in Callaloo\, Three Rivers Poetry Journal\, Agni Review\, MIRAGE #4 Period(ical)\, River Styx\, Texte zur Kunst\, October\, and Spike Art Magazine\, among others.

McClenon studied art and creative writing at the University of Maryland\, College Park and The New School prior to receiving a Master of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2014. Alongside artistic experiences\, A.J. is passionate about teaching and community collaborations with the goal that all the memories and histories that are said to have “too many Black people\,” are told and retold again. As a means to uphold these stories A.J. creates writings\, performances\, installations\, objects\, sounds\, and visuals. These creations often revolve around an interest in water and aquatic life\, escapism\, Blackness\, science\, grief\, US history\, and the global future. A.J. is deeply invested in leveling the hierarchies of truth and using personal narrative to speak on political and cultural amnesia and their absurdities. A.J. currently works and lives in Chicago. \nAyanah Moor is a visual artist who centers Blackness and queerness in her approach to painting\, print media\, and performance. Moor’s artwork is held in the permanent collections of the DePaul Art Museum\, the Museum of Contemporary Photography\, Chicago; Soho House (London); and the David L. Lawrence Convention Center\, Pittsburgh. Moor’s recent exhibitions include\, I Wish I Could Be You More Often\, Cleve Carney Museum; t/here or t/here\, Intermission Museum + Stand4 Gallery; and Direct Message: Art\, Language and Power\, MCA Chicago.
