Agency: Craft in Chicago from the 1970s-80s and Beyond

“‘Agency: Craft in Chicago from the 1970s-80s and Beyond,'” generously supported by the Terra Foundation through Art Design Chicago 2024. This upcoming exhibition aims to spotlight artists historically marginalized within mainstream art narratives, while acknowledging the enduring influence of white male dominance without excluding it entirely. Themes of colonialism, oppression, discrimination, and racism permeate societal structures and institutional art norms, positioning craft as an outsider within “high art.”

Exhibit Closes December 22
