DCASE Presents: Performance Art Residency with Suspended Culture

Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events

Stop by Sidney R. Yates Gallery where Suspended Culture is at work as our Chicago Cultural Center Performance Art Resident.

Chicago Cultural Center

Suspended Culture&#x27;s residency goal is to research Black sacred space, Black home-making, and Black domestic practices by: transforming Yates gallery into a space of rest, holding conversations with invited public, hosting a festival/showing in their final week in the space, and creating an audiovisual archive. Suspended Culture&#x27;s residency in the space is April 28-July 8. The installation will take shape slowly over the course of the residency, culminating in the public performances in early July. Throughout the residency, researchers, artists, community workers, healers, and community members are invited into the Yates Gallery at the Chicago Cultural Center to have conversations about Black sacred space, Black homemaking, and Black grounding, and to participate in the unfolding of the project. The work is inspired by and indebted to the work of The Nap Ministry (Tricia Hersey), bell hooks, and Audre Lorde. T﻿he public is invited to visit the residents, engage in the space, participate in conversations, view videos and resources, and attend performances &amp; panels.
