SUMMARY:Athena LaTocha Lecture at the Art Institute of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Join us in person for a lecture by distinguished alum Athena LaTocha followed by an audience Q&A. \nLocation: The Art Institute of Chicago\, Fullerton Hall\, 111 S. Michigan Ave. \nAthena LaTocha (BFA 1992) is an artist whose massive works on paper explore the relationship between human-made and natural worlds. The artist incorporates materials such as ink\, lead\, earth\, and wood while looking at correlations between mark-marking and displacement of materials made by industrial equipment and natural events. LaTocha’s process is about being immersed in these environments while responding to the storied and\, at times\, traumatic cultural histories that are rooted in place. \nPresented in partnership with SAIC Alumni Engagement. \nThis event is free\, non-ticketed and open to the general public. \nThis event will be live captioned by Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) services. The auditorium is wheelchair accessible and hearing assisted devices are available. For additional access requests\, visit saic.edu/access. \nAccessibility: live captions\, assistive listening devices\, wheelchair accessible \nhttps://www.saic.edu/events/athena-latocha

SUMMARY:Shamel Pitts | TRIBE\, Touch of RED at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Shamel Pitts and the Brooklyn-based arts collective TRIBE debut an electrifying new live performance in their ongoing Red Series exploring Black multiplicity and human connection. \nThe new work\, titled Touch of RED\, is a duet for two Black men set inside a contemporary boxing ring—a space that might traditionally suggest an aggressive competition between male athletes for entertainment purposes. Yet in Touch of RED\, the two dancers imbue this boxed-in site with an intense energy drawn from the power of vulnerability\, effeminacy\, and the healing that occurs when Black men are allowed to soften\, together. During the performance audiences will be seated around the four sides of the ring\, which strategically conceals or frames the action. Transforming the space into a pulsing night club dance floor\, Touch of RED invites the audience to experience the anticipation\, energy\, and collective softening that accompanies a good party—and reframe their expectations of time\, space\, and normative identity. \nAccessibility: ASL interpreted\, assistive listening devices\, audio description\, captioning \nhttps://experience.mcachicago.org/overview/5786?queueittoken=e_mcageneral~q_6b855690-c319-4e86-a696-709882d1dd35~ts_1679853767~ce_true~rt_safetynet~h_601a46034f377ef96c08bcd1e98d78ea6c5c8b005d357659c1f90efb3399ab1b
