It is with fanfare that I share this event with you! I am excited and elated to be part of such a great group of artists in this lovely venue.

Opening this February 14th to the public at the Chicago Cultural Center

Drawing from past and present, the work of previous Chicago immigrants, and their own experiences, the artists present a complicated, personal view of migration. Through a range of approaches and mediums, the exhibition highlights the invaluable impact of immigrant artists who continuously shape and reorient arts and culture to inform and challenge the present.

Featured artists include: Alberto Aguilar, Kioto Aoki, Amanda Assaley and Qais Assali, Yesenia Bello, Tom Burtonwood, Derek Chan, Eugenia Cheng, Julietta Cheung, Sabba Elahi, Silvia Gonzalez with Joseph Josue Mora and Patricia Nguyen, Óscar I González Díaz, Lise Haller Baggesen, Rodrigo Lara Zendejas, Benjamin Larose, Kirsten Leenaars, Wen Liu, Yvette Mayorga, Frédéric Moffet, Sherwin Ovid, Roni Packer, Emilio Rojas, Moises Salazar, Maryam Taghavi, Jan Tichy, Orkideh Torabi, and Ji Yang.

Kioto Aoki plays Taiko drums to open the exhibition: 6 and 7pm
