Lit & Luz Festival: Live Magazine Show
@ Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago
220 E Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60611
Opening Saturday, November 2nd, at 7PM
Experience the Live Magazine Show, the Lit & Luz Festival of Language, Literature, and Art’s signature celebration. Each year, Lit & Luz supports the creation of new collaborative artworks between writers, visual artists, and musicians from Chicago and Mexico. In the months leading up to the festival, teams of participating artists from the two countries work remotely to co-create a performance incorporating their respective mediums. The pieces are presented during the show in both Spanish and English, and they often explore the relationship between the languages, art forms, and cultures of the United States and Mexico. Inspired by the media landscape of both presidential elections taking place in both countries this year, the theme of the festival is “Saturation/Saturación.” Participants will consider concepts such as intensity, combination, absorption, maximums and limitations as they respond to the urgent political, social, and environmental issues confronting both countries.
