If I walk through the fire would you join me?

@ Chicago Art Department

1926 S Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60608

Opening Friday, April 11th, from 6PM - 9PM

“If I walk through fire, would you join me?” explores time, memory, and collective liberation through the personal and historical archives of late Chicago activist Maria Saucedo. Artists engage with Saucedo’s legacy—her resistance against US imperialism, advocacy for bilingual education, and commitment to solidarity movements—revealing how history folds into the present. Through poetry, performance, and activism, her archive becomes a living timeline, inviting us to walk with her through fire, forging new paths toward shared freedom.
