FINDING CEREMONY
Inspired by this unique structure, Finding Ceremony will highlight artists from across the city with an emphasis on West and South side cultural production through an art exhibition, performances, and cultural events at Austin Town Hall from September 16th through October 22nd, 2022. Anchor invites a constellation of local talent to build reciprocal relationships with neighbors, local stakeholders, and each other through the collective activation of public parks. Anchor is funded in part by the Walder Foundation, the Builders Initiative, and the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE).
A site of refuge and grounding, this inaugural iteration of the Anchor Curatorial Residency investigates present-day geographies of collective anchoring; we invite the local community to explore ways of finding our footing, recharting and reclaiming Black and Brown relations to public spaces and each other.
Finding Ceremony is also proudly designed in collaboration with community stewards Dushaun Branch, Jasmin Graham, Dianna C. Long, and Emone Moore.
Hours of Operation: Mon- Fri 11- 7 pm, Sat 11- 5 pm, Closed Sundays
