Margot McMahon: Cultural Communities: Chicago Writers and Beyond
@ Epiphany Center for the Arts
201 S Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Friday, August 2nd, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Friday, September 13th
Cultural Communities: Chicago Writers and Beyond presents an in-depth exploration of influential writers who have significantly impacted their communities. This study is brought to life through Margot McMahon’s sculptural homage, which spotlights a diverse group of literary figures: Ernest Hemingway fostered a global community of adventurers; Gwendolyn Brooks nurtured aspiring poets; Richard Wright galvanized progressive intellectuals; Julie Otsuka illuminated the Japanese-American narrative; and Alice–Sylvia Shaw established the esteemed Ragdale artist enclave in Lake Forest, Illinois. These writers are united by a shared dedication to cultivating artistic collectives, which in turn have yielded profound works of literature with a focus on social justice.
