Arts & Exhibitions.

We've had the honor of curating transformative exhibitions and impactful arts programming that bridges the creative arts and activism, sparking dialogue and action around vital social justice issues.

In partnership with community organizations Alianza Americas and the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization (LVEJO) this exhibition features stories vast climate injustices, collective resistance, and community solutions to create a more just future.

In a series of portraits and interviews, Johnson chronicles the ways in which nine young people have been made to feel they don’t belong in their own city. 

Through their own creative agency, young people push back against the politics of racism, exclusion and containment by creating their own “free spaces” and organizations that contest the commons.

Black Chicago Resists is based on the photographic work of Chicago-area photographer, Owen Lawson. The exhibit provides a glimpse into the varied and layered forms of political resistance by Black Chicagoans and their supporters over several years.

Reimagining Black Masculinity invites viewers to interrogate the stereotypes that endanger and constrain Black men, as well as the toxic masculinist expressions and violent actions that also endanger Black women and femmes in our communities.
