Makes Me Wanna Holla: Art, Death & Imprisonment
\nfeaturing \u201cArtist for the People\u201d Practitioner Fellows
\nDorothy Burge & Michelle Daniel Jones with Mourning Our Losses
\nJuly 7 – Sept 10, 2023<\/p>\n
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\u00a0Makes Me Wanna Holla: Art, Death & Imprisonment\u00a0featuring 2022-23 \u201cArtist for the People\u201d Practitioner Fellows\u00a0Dorothy Burge\u00a0and\u00a0Michelle Daniel Jones\u00a0with Mourning Our Losses.
\nBurge and Daniel Jones completed fellowship projects exploring social 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: \u201cWho gets remembered?\u201d
\nFor this exhibition, Burge presents a series of portrait quilts depicting survivors of Chicago police torture, African American trans women murdered in 2022, and Albert Woodfox of the Angola 3 who survived four decades of solitary confinement. Accompanying the Burge Survivor quilts are newly presented bibliographic compilations, including artworks, family photos and poems compiled by students at the School of the Art Institute.
\nAs both curator and artist, Daniel Jones presents the Mourning Our Losses (MOL) Traveling Memorial,\u00a0We Shall Remember. This exhibit immerses attendees in a multi-sensory experience of COVID-19 in prisons using sound, statistics and the artistry of those currently and formerly incarcerated that speaks to the horrors of the pandemic. MOL highlights the moral cost of mass incarceration while honoring the lives of all who died while living or working behind bars.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"makes-me-wanna-holla-art-death-imprisonment","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/uploads\/2023\/06\/download.png","id":420909,"extension":"png","width":400,"height":200,"filesize":59022,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":19333,"url":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/uploads\/2023\/06\/download-150x150.png"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2023-07-18 09:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2023","month":"07","day":"18","hour":"09","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2023-07-18 21:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2023","month":"07","day":"18","hour":"21","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2023-07-18 14:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2023","month":"07","day":"18","hour":"14","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2023-07-19 02:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2023","month":"07","day":"19","hour":"02","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Chicago","timezone_abbr":"CDT","cost":"Free","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":["0"]},"website":"https:\/\/cli.re\/41829-makes-me-wanna-holla-art-death--imprisonment","show_map":false,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Museums, Galleries & Exhibitions","slug":"museums-galleries-exhibitions","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1241,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":83,"filter":"raw","id":1241,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/1241","collection":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":394650,"status":"publish","date":"2023-03-06 08:27:23","date_utc":"2023-03-06 14:27:23","modified":"2023-03-06 08:27:23","modified_utc":"2023-03-06 14:27:23","url":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/venue\/logan-center-for-the-arts-gallery\/","venue":"Logan Center for the Arts – Gallery","slug":"logan-center-for-the-arts-gallery","address":"915 East 60th Street","city":"Chicago","country":"United States","state":"IL","zip":"60637","stateprovince":"IL","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"www.choosechicago.com?id=394650","global_id_lineage":["www.choosechicago.com?id=394650"]},"organizer":[{"id":355948,"status":"publish","date":"2022-11-02 16:34:18","date_utc":"2022-11-02 21:34:18","modified":"2022-11-02 16:34:18","modified_utc":"2022-11-02 21:34:18","url":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/organizer\/logan-center-for-the-arts\/","organizer":"Logan Center for the Arts","slug":"logan-center-for-the-arts","global_id":"www.choosechicago.com?id=355948","global_id_lineage":["www.choosechicago.com?id=355948"]}]},{"id":10026938,"global_id":"www.choosechicago.com?id=10026938","global_id_lineage":["www.choosechicago.com?id=10026938"],"author":"103","status":"publish","date":"2023-05-10 08:28:07","date_utc":"2023-05-10 13:28:07","modified":"2023-05-10 08:28:07","modified_utc":"2023-05-10 13:28:07","url":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/event\/the-warhol-exhibition\/2023-07-18\/","rest_url":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/events\/10026938","title":"The WARHOL Exhibition","description":"

Inhabiting a 15,000-square-foot unused commercial space in Chicago\u2019s Fulton Market District, the exhibition features work by over 50 contemporary artists in a multigenerational grouping that examines water through the lens of magic, ritual, and the role of the \u2018witch\u2019, or medium, in contemporary art. Free to the public, the traveling exhibition evolves to address water-related issues in each city it inhabits through new site-specific commissions and community-based programming.

While the Order Police performed ordinary tasks such as responding to accidents and crime, they were perpetrators of reprehensible acts and ultimately complicit in the murder of more than one million human beings.<\/p>\n Join Edward Westermann, Regents Professor of History at Texas A&M University \u2013 San Antonio, and author of \u201cHitler’s Police Battalions: Enforcing Racial War in the East,\u201d to learn how German police forces helped implement systems of persecution that eventually led to genocide.<\/p>\n Tickets \u2013 Museum Members: Free; Non-Members: Museum Admission<\/p>\n
