Art Design Chicago exhibiting artists Vida Sačić, Melissa Leandro, Indira Freitas Johnson, and Carlos Barberena come together for an in-depth conversation about their journeys of immigration and migration, and ways in which those life experiences have shaped their work. In this panel moderated by Hyde Park Art Center ‘s Mariela Acuña, the artists discuss how Chicago and its culture have affected them and their art practices.
Designed to trace a connective thread through several Art Design Chicago projects, Chicago Narratives: Finding a Creative Home, features artists included in four Art Design Chicago exhibitions, each of which touches on the ways that artists with origins in other places have contributed to Chicago’s creative ecosystem.
