Existing is Political

Group Exhibit at Chicago Sculpture International Project Space

Exhibition Dates: October 19 – November 22, 2024

Opening: Saturday, October 19, from 6-9 pm.

Existing is Political explores the notion that simply "being" - existing in one’s body, culture, gender, or identity—carries political weight and significance. In an era marked by a two-party system with sharply defined platforms, this exhibition examines how the principles—equality and justice for all—fit into contemporary society. By showcasing diverse voices and perspectives, it aims to inspire dialogue and foster a deeper understanding of existence as a political act in order to inspire action towards a genuinely inclusive society
