In collaboration with John Michael Kohler Arts Center and Tufts University Art Galleries, join us tomorrow, May 21, 6–7:30 p.m. in Room 1100 of the UIC Architecture and Design Studios for the publication launch party of π‘―π’π’˜ 𝒅𝒐 π’šπ’π’– π’•π’‰π’“π’π’˜ 𝒂 π’ƒπ’“π’Šπ’„π’Œ π’•π’‰π’“π’π’–π’ˆπ’‰ 𝒕𝒉𝒆 π’˜π’Šπ’π’…π’π’˜β€¦

Contributing author Amanda Cachia will discuss her essay in the publication alongside related scholarship from her recent book, π‘―π’π’”π’‘π’Šπ’•π’‚π’ π‘¨π’†π’”π’•π’‰π’†π’•π’Šπ’„π’”: π‘«π’Šπ’”π’‚π’ƒπ’Šπ’π’Šπ’•π’š, π‘΄π’†π’…π’Šπ’„π’Šπ’π’†, π‘¨π’„π’•π’Šπ’—π’Šπ’”π’Ž (2025).

In a recent interview on the book with BOMB Magazine, Cachia notes that, β€œAmanda Cachia: Curating itself has undergone quite an evolution in the last thirty years. Originally curators had come in to care for collections. The irony is that they might have been caring for objects, but they weren’t really caring for bodies that would come into the space of the museum. My interest is in how we care for bodies without being so fixated on β€˜curing’ them.”

Exhibition co-curators and publication co-editors Tanya Gayer and Laurel V. McLaughlin will present an overview of the π‘―π’π’˜ 𝒅𝒐 π’šπ’π’– π’•π’‰π’“π’π’˜ 𝒂 π’ƒπ’“π’Šπ’„π’Œ π’•π’‰π’“π’π’–π’ˆπ’‰ 𝒕𝒉𝒆 π’˜π’Šπ’π’…π’π’˜β€¦, its design by Body & Forma, essays and featured artworks by Yani aviles, Chloe P.

We are thrilled to announce that we are recipients of the hosting grant for our upcoming fall exhibition, 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 & 𝑷𝒖𝒍𝒍: π‘»π’˜π’ 𝑫𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒕 π‘©π’π’‚π’„π’Œπ’ƒπ’–π’“π’ π‘·π’“π’Šπ’π’•π’Žπ’‚π’Œπ’Šπ’π’ˆ π‘Ύπ’π’“π’Œπ’”π’‰π’π’‘.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 & 𝑷𝒖𝒍𝒍 features over 35 original prints, archival ephemera, and video drawn from the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop's historic collection and archive. The exhibition traces the origins, mentorship, collaboration, and technical innovation that have made it the US’s oldest and continuously operating cooperative workshop.

Rooted in radical inclusivity, the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop opened its doors in 1947 in New York City, providing space and opportunities for artists of color amid racial segregation and the mass defunding of community arts centers after WWII.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 & 𝑷𝒖𝒍𝒍’𝒔 Chicago iteration will feature a supplementary exhibition with prints and archival materials that trace the city’s historical parallels to the Workshop, underscoring the artistic ecosystems Black artists developed in the mid-twentieth century and their impact today.

Congratulations to all our fellow grantees!
