Screening: Mother Art Tells Her Story
@ Hyde Park Art Center
5020 S Cornell Ave, Chicago, IL 60615
Opening Wednesday, January 8th, from 7PM - 8PM
Join us for a screening of Mother Art Tells her Story. This forty minute video is a slice of history by Mother Art, a collective of eight women artists. Using art installations in galleries and public spaces, such as laundromats and banks, they explored the social and political issues that affected all of us. Mother Art Tells Her Story focuses on the turbulent times of the 1970’s and 1980’s, touching on issues of ‘women’s work,’ homelessness, reproductive rights, the nuclear arms race, activism, collaboration, and much more. All this is done through the use of personal narrative to make these issues accessible and human.
