Hosted by Chicago Wilderness Alliance: Join the Protecting Healthy Waters Green Vision Initiative team for a group visit to the Shimmer on Horizons exhibition by Andrea Carlson, Ojibwa/European descent. Grounded in Anishinaabe understandings of space and time, the works in this exhibition reflect on how land carries memories of colonial expansion and violence, as well as Indigenous presence and resistance.  

Where: Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, 220 E. Chicago Avenue;  in the Turner Gallery, 4th floor (Southwest side)

The front of the building is on Mies van der Rohe Way, between Chicago Avenue (to the south) and Pearson Street (to the north), one block east of Michigan Avenue and one block west of Fairbanks Court. View transit options and on-site paid parking. 

When: Tuesday, January 28, 3 pm in the Turner Gallery; reconvene at the counter (bottom floor) for coffee/tea/discussion afterward.

Who: All are welcome

Admission: Tuesdays are free days at MCA for Illinois residents; MCA's suggested out-of-state admission is $22 per person, under 18 free. The MCA believes art should be accessible to everyone. To encourage more people to visit and visit often, the MCA has a pay-what-you-can policy—no one will be turned away.

Why: Enjoy interesting dialogue around land, art, and Indigenous perspective, explore options to stay connected, or discuss interesting grants opportunities and other issues.
