📍✨Come and see our works!✨📍 「Adornment as Artifact」 Bringing together nine artists and designers working across textiles, embroidery, and mixed media, this exhibition explores making as a process of experimentation. The works play with the relationship to the body, using embellishment as a tool to transform familiar materials into tactile representations of the self. They aim to challenge the preconceived notions behind tradition, questioning where couture ends and contemporary art flourishes. This display showcases how each artist uses decorative labor to transform it into a powerful language of identity, memory, and creative expression.’ SAIC - Masters of Fashion, Body & Garment #saic #groupexhibition

Last weekend we closed on our show “This could be// The Permanent Rebellion at @blancgallerychicago! This was an amazing experience to be a part of, thank you to the team at Blanc and to @knowmynamebutikeepmyfaith for bringing us all together. This was my first large-scale fiber piece, titled “At Odds, Yet Hopeful” about how we many of us are psychologically, emotionally, and socially at a cross-roads amidst the pressure of our modern capitalist society. Yet, we still have hope that more—that better—is possible somewhere beyond the horizon. 🤍🥂

Blanc is excited to announce our next exhibition, This could be//The Permanent Rebellion, curated by Imani Harmon. Featuring the work of 12 graduating seniors and grad students from SAIC, as well as self taught and local Chicago-based artists this exhibition explores past, present and possibility in Black contemporary art’s reflections of Black political consciousness and subjectivity. Composed of artists from across the African diaspora and geographical locations within US; this show is concerned with conceptions of Blackness shaped by American national memory and how temporal concerns of political upheaval raise questions of how Blackness is to be narrativized and galvanized. The art objects are a visual and thematic fulcrum that explore the contradictions, ruptures and impasses of Blackness; alongside desires to demystify, place-make, and reclaim through counternarratives of popular intra- and inter-communal conceptions of Blackness. It will open on August 7th from 6-9pm and a full list of activations will be announced in the next week. About the Curator: Born in Norfolk, VA and raised in Chula Vista, CA, Imani Harmon is a curator, writer and conceptual artist based in Chicago, IL. Through institutional critique, collage and new media her work meets at the nexus of decolonial Marxist critical theory, cultural and national memory, and the Black left in art and culture. Through her curatorial and artistic practice, she centers contemporary Black scholars and artists to interrogate the political economy of Blackness. She holds a BA in Political Science from Howard University and is currently pursuing her MA in Visual and Critical Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Featured Artists: Messejah Washington Isabel Padilla Bonelli Sevyn De La Cruz Adilah Muhammed Danielle Levi Shelby/Shelbs Tafari Melisizwe Nia Wilson Marc A. V.
