To support “Where the Future Came From”, a collective research project on the integral role of feminism and women-run art activities throughout Chicago’s history. This project seeks to document and contextualize the role of women and feminism within Chicago’s art history, from the late-19th century to the present. This multifaceted project consists of symposia, a participatory-research space within an installation environment, a series of programs that will be documented via a publication, and an archive representing the history of women-run spaces in Chicago.
