REENCOUNTERS/REENCUENTROS: Curators’ Tour

1926 S Halsted St, Chicago, IL, 60608

Opening Sunday, October 15th, from 12PM - 2PM

On view through Sunday, October 29th

Meet the curatorial team and participating artists for an ongoing tour of REENCOUNTERS/REENCUENTROS, the show that celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Lit & Luz Festival.

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Lit & Luz Festival, we bring together work by 14 artists and past Collaboration Cohort participants for this reunion exhibition—celebrating a decade of collaboration, discovery, artistic innovation, and critical expression. If the first encounter is serendipitous, a reencounter is almost destined. In this exhibition, each artist brings a recent work, revisits an old creation, or materializes a new iteration of a series.

REENCOUNTERS/REENCUENTROS offers glimpses into the artists’ most up-to-date interests, their ongoing research, and their continued inquiries into socio-political and environmental issues, human conditions, kinship, and most prominently, the power and complexities of language in all its shapes and forms. In the spirit of the festival, we also commissioned past participant writers to produce a creative response to an artwork on view in the exhibition. And thus new encounters begin.

Curatorial Team: Esteban King, Nicky Ni, and Caleigh Stephens
