MCA Studio: All Rise
@ Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago
220 E. Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60611
Opening Tuesday, April 25th, from 6PM - 7:30PM
All Rise is a community-based event that addresses issues of institutional racism in our communities and ultimately aims to create a space for speech, performance, and critical dialogue. All Rise combines strategies from two ongoing collaborative projects: Hương Ngô and Hồng-Ân Trương’s And And And Stammering: An Interview and Jina Valentine and Heather Hart’s The Black Lunch Table.
And And And Stammering: An Interview uses a public performance of an interrogation for US citizenship of a randomly selected audience member, and is inspired by the Theater of the Oppressed techniques of Brazilian activist Augusto Boal.
Organized around literal and metaphorical lunch tables, Black Lunch Table sessions provide both physical space and allotted time for interdisciplinary and intergenerational discussions, bringing together a diversity of community members and fostering candid conversations.
This event includes a small seated meal and discussion. Please RSVP to reserve a seat at one of the tables. An RSVP is not required to participate in the program, seating and standing room will be available for participants who do not RSVP.
