Isabelle Rizo: Madness and Mysticism: A Diasporan Perspective

@ PRESS HERE: Center for Mad Culture

410 S Michigan Ave, Suite 419, Chicago, IL 60605

Opening Friday, April 14th, from 5PM - 9PM

On view through Friday, June 2nd

Isabelle’s first exhibition with PRESS HERE will be a series of watercolor works which examine meaning making through representations of madness and mysticism. As a Romanian political refugee, Isabelle explores connections to her culture and what it means “to navigate being American in Romania and Romanian in America?” As a self proclaimed witch, Isabelle also empowers her artwork and identity with a spirituality which she sees tied to madness. This artistic exploration provides us all with a moment to see ourselves, our own mental health, and our spirituality as intrinsically connected – asking us to make active assessments which connect us to a greater community.
