Krista Franklin: Quest for The Marvelous

@ Chicago Cultural Center

78 E Washington St, Chicago, IL 60602

Opening Friday, September 16th, from 5PM - 9PM

On view through Sunday, January 8th

In this survey of recent work, internationally-recognized poet and visual artist Krista Franklin appropriates image and text as a political gesture that chisels away at the narratives historically inscribed on women and people of color and forges imaginative spaces for radical possibilities and visions. The Fantastic, the surreal, mythmaking, black portraiture and the collective conscious take shape through collage, handmade paper, poetry, letterpress, altered bookmaking and performance.
