About Brown People Are the Wrens in the Parking Lot:
Initiated by artist and University of Chicago Department of Visual Arts faculty member Pope.L, Brown People are the Wrens in the Parking Lot is an exhibition and art intervention facilitated by faculty, students, staff, friends and community of the Reva and David Logan Centers for the Arts at the University of Chicago to reflect on themes of immigration, migration, and home. The exhibition stems from a series of “wake-up” interventions that took place in the hallways of the Logan Center over the course of six weeks during the University’s fall quarter. The interventions took the form of postering, audio sloganeering, video interviews, and a library containing over 1,200 books on the subject of immigration.
