Study Hours at Tala with Chuquimarca
@ Tala
1644 W Chicago Ave, #1, Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Saturday, May 25th, from 4PM - 6PM
Join us in Tala’s library for our first Study Hours with Chuquimarca, Saturday 5/25 from 4-6PM
Study Hours is a dedicated time to delve into the texts available in Tala’s library while making space for one’s own quiet conversation, study, and reading. Led by a library contributor, Study Hours is an informal opportunity to deepen one’s research while offering the chance to encounter moments of new learning.
This study hours will begin with a walkthrough of @chuquimarca.artlibrary through their permanent collection of art books installed at Tala. Afterwards, visitors are welcome to bring their own materials to read or explore the texts in the space. Coffee, tea, wine, and snacks will be served.
Afterwards, head over to @povosgallery for the closing of @isabella.Mellado’s solo exhibition “Te Diré Quién Eres” from 6-9PM for tea and tarot by @lauren.oberlin oberlin and a limited release print drop ✨
