Artist Talk for Unsettled Territories
@ Agitator Gallery
3851 W Fullerton Ave, Chicago, IL 60647
Opening Saturday, July 25th, from 3PM - 4PM
On view through Sunday, July 26th
Join us for an intimate artist talk exploring the concepts behind Unsettled Territories. The artists will unpack how their work confronts the deep strata of displacement, memory, and embodiment.
Moving across photography, mixed media, and sculptural intervention, the talk will pull back the curtain on processes used to disrupt and challenge dominant narratives. The artists will discuss how they reveal the unseen infrastructures, political and personal—that govern how we navigate the world, sharing how their work doesn’t merely depict fragmented realities, but actively inhabits them. Come discover the ruptures and possibilities that form our lived experience in an evening dedicated to collective witnessing.
Kathryn Hempel’s palette and forms act as frameworks through which we consider the infrastructures of power. The images suggest maintenance and repair, yet also deterioration. —
Jeannie Hua’s images question the possibility of comprehension and understanding despite personal and public impairment of access to information and knowledge. —
Michael Anthony Garcia’s sculptural photographs integrate textiles, organic forms, ritualistic elements, and altered environments. The result is a visceral dialogue with presence, vulnerability, and the politics of the body as territory. —
