And Now: Stories from the Edge

A GROUP SHOW curated by Gretchen Hesse

How is the world changing? What could that mean? What agency do we have in that change? How can we take control of the change for the common good? AND NOW is an exhibition that explores those questions. It will be on display in Chicago during August 2024, when the Democratic National Convention is in town. 

AND NOW is a follow up to AND THEN, a 2020 Agitator exhibition that asked artists to express their hopes, dreams and fears for a post - pandemic reality. 

EXHIBITION runs from August 10 through 24.

OPENING Reception:: Saturday, August 10, 6 – 10 pm

Live Fiction Reading: Saturday, August 17, 7 - 9 pm

CLOSING Reception / Performances: Saturday, August 24, 6 - 10 pm
