A PROGRAM OF LOGAN CENTER EXHIBITIONS
The "Artists Live" series features a diverse range of artists, at different stages in their careers, in an intimate dialogue about their personal and professional paths. The conversations examine a variety of topics, revealing each individual artist's story in the process, and include opportunities for audiences to engage with the artists in discussion.
This Artists Live features the artists of Logan Center’s current Gallery exhibition, “Makes Me Wanna Holla” with Dorothy Burge and Michelle Daniel Jones.
Exhibition Information
Logan Center Exhibitions, the Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture (CSRPC), and the Pozen Center Human Rights Lab (HRL) at the University of Chicago are pleased to present Makes Me Wanna Holla: Art, Death & Imprisonment featuring 2022-23 "Artist for the People" Practitioner Fellows Dorothy Burge and Michelle Daniel Jones with Mourning Our Losses.
Burge and Daniel Jones completed year-long fellowship residencies co-hosted by CSRPC and HRL that explored the injustices of the carceral system. Their work engages critical race and human rights issues by looking back at forgotten, ignored, or suppressed stories and people. This exhibition asks: “Who gets remembered?” Learn more>>
