Chiraq and Its Meaning(s): A Release Party

As part of an exhibition at SAIC’s Sullivan Galleries titled A Proximity of Consciousness: Art and Social Action, Project NIA and Temporary Services are collaborating to create a publication in Publishing Clearing House, a makeshift print shop in a 39-by-20-foot space within the gallery.

The publication titled “Chiraq & its Meaning(s)” includes visual and written submissions from youth and adults across Chicago. Our goal is to document how some Chicagoans are thinking and talking about violence & safety in the city in this historical moment.

Join Project NIA and Temporary Services for the release of the publication on October 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. Included in the event will be readings, poetry, audio and visual contributions to the project.

We will also have special performances by members of Kuumba Lynx and more.

Date: October 30

Time: 6 to 8 pm

Location: SAIC Sullivan Galleries, 33 S. State Street, 7th floor
