SUMMARY:Right to Assemble: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Right to Assemble: Opening Reception \nRight to Assemble is an LGBTQ+ soft sculpture and quilt exhibition exploring queer American identity during a moment of crisis. In collaboration with The Center on Addison\, we invite you to engage with quilts and flags\, connect with the Chicago LGBTQ+ community\, and envision the future of the nation together. \nEvent Details\nDate: Saturday\, June 6th\nTime: 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM\nLocation: The Center on Addison (Community Space)\nCost: Free admission\nEntry: Please enter on Addison Street \nAbout the Exhibition\nThe current political crisis is an irrevocable catalyst for forging new conceptions of national identity\, particularly amongst those whose increasing marginalization is used to sustain a growing autocratic force. \nRight to Assemble grounds this work in intergenerational LGBTQ+ aesthetics through an unpacking and evolving of the ever-changing Pride Flag. We aim to mobilize this exhibition as a method of dialogue\, using selected textile works to explore what it means to gather\, define ourselves\, and envision a new world. \nQuilts and flags\, both fabric assemblages\, symbolize the coming together of minds and bodies\, whether within a community or a nation. As you engage with the space\, we hope you will reflect with one another on your vision for the future of this country and the methods necessary to achieve it. \nFeatured Artists\nWhat Will Have Been Ours\nEve Emrich & Quilt Church\nWill Montgomery
