Join Heaven Gallery for a community talk, "Curating Outside the White Cube: How BIPOC Leadership is Changing the Arts Landscape."

Nubes is an art fair that exalts Chicago culture by featuring 14 BIPOC led art galleries and curators from the South, West and North side. Nubes Art Fair is about the residual memory of place and a reconnection to the land where native people have long walked the Milwaukee trail.

Join us for Meditations for Imaginations session with artist and musician Todd Mattei. He will perform live music and sound for participants. The music is aimed not only at relaxation but at enlivening the imagination and stimulating memory.

Through the excavation and reassembly of memories, familial accounts, photos and historical documents, this work reinterprets the stories of the women of artists Valentine and Carter-Rankin’s lineage.

Curator Francine Almeda speaks with artists Yesenia Bello, Salvador Dominguez, and Yasmeen Nemett Alla about their art and experience with the Space to Say Exhibit.

Chicago-based artists Farnaz Khosh-Sirat and Hope Wang lead a discussion about their art praxis.

Space to Say creates a place to collectively reflect on themes of immigration, language (or lack thereof) and methods of empathy.

Heaven Gallery and Equity Arts invite five generations of women change makers who choose to break the bias – this group includes artists, activists and community leaders paving the way for social change.

With artists Abena Motaboli, Lucia Calderon Arrieta, Ryn Osbourne, and Olive Stefanski
