40 años a la esperanza is now on view at the National Museum of Mexican Art (NMMA). Curated by Sarita Hernández (Museum & Exhibition Studies—MA, 2017), this exhibit takes a look at how the mothers, students and community organizers fought to establish Benito Juárez High School in 1977 through the Harrison and Froebel school walk outs and incited activism between 1968 and 1974. 40 años a la esperanza honors the 1979 mural A la esperanza designed and painted at Benito Juárez High School 40 years ago.
Martha Pollak, has been named the inaugural Circle Professor of Art History – a position created in February 2019 for the Department of Art History within CADA, with an endowment by a Nebraska-based charitable foundation that wishes to remain anonymous. Historically, UIC was widely referred to as “Circle,” and this new professorship pays homage to that historical name for the university’s Chicago campus and location.
Throughout history, art has been a way for humans to grapple with war – to create meaning out of the experience of violence, to seek justice, and to imagine reconciliation. For the 2018–19 academic year, with the support of the Dialogues on the Experience of War grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the School of Art & Art History’s Museum and Exhibition Studies program (MUSE) partnered with the National Veterans Art Museum (NVAM) to welcome artist and Iraq veteran Aaron Hughes as visiting faculty.
Chicago Artists Coalition is pleased to present Portals, a group exhibition featuring new work by HATCH artists-in-residence Hale Ekinci, Shir Ende, Mayumi Lake, and Liang Luscombe. Portals is curated by Elliot Reichert.
In this exhibition, each artist draws from an array of practices—among them, photography, video, fiber, sculpture, printmaking, and performance—to produce images and forms that open vistas into other worlds.
This event is free and open to the public. On view now through November 7, 2019.
