Opening Sunday, November 8th, from 2PM - 4PM
An afternoon of performance with Bárbara Foulkes, Mauricio López F., and Camille Casemier
What happens when a body becomes weightless? What happens when it corresponds with a machine, an architectural structure, or a common object? For an afternoon of performance across Gallery 1, the Lit & Luz Festival brings together Bárbara Foulkes — Mexico-based artist and Jackman Goldwasser Resident at the Hyde Park Art Center — and Chicago-based artists Mauricio López F. and Camille Casemier to explore these questions through live performance. Performing three original works, the artists activate the edges of motion and space through tension, transformation, and play with objects, machines, sound, and everyday gestures. Questioning the ordinary, these encounters become spaces of possibility, where materials take on new lives and unexpected meanings emerge.
This event opens the 2026 Lit & Luz Festival week, featuring arts, literature, and bilingual programming in accessible arts and literature venues across the city of Chicago Nov 8 – Nov 14.
