beLONGING: Lithuanian Artists in Chicago 1900 to Now

September 28, 2024 - May 17, 2025

A series of 25 multi-colored abstract forms arranged in a grid pattern.
Janina Marks, 25 Spindles, 1969. Oil painting, 40 x 50 1/8 in. Collection Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture, 1970.76.1. Donated by the Artist.

Exploring identity and place through the diverse work, perspectives, and legacy of three immigration periods of Lithuanian artists in Chicago, this exhibition and its associated programs and publications consider the causes and consequences of immigration/migration, including displacement, colonization, trauma, and assimilation. The cost of belonging is choosing what to leave behind. Its reward: creating new connections in this culturally diverse and evolving city.
