The Language Between Worlds
@ Hyde Park Art Center
5020 S Cornell Ave, Chicago, IL 60615
On view through Saturday, October 29th
Artists Nyame Brown, Bethany Collins, Nicole Marroquin, Chris Pappan, and Jessica Vaughn devise their own language of symbols, visual cues, and narrative structures that expose and subvert the racial inequality woven into American society. Written and coded methods of communication are tools these artists employ in their paintings, drawings, textiles and prints to translate important lessons of protest and cultural preservation. Whether fact or folktale, the stories they choose to tell are revived through a modernist or conceptual approach and directly connect the past to the future, while challenging the author of history itself.
