Artist and UChicago faculty Pope.L participating in Documenta 14, with support from the Gray Center.

Opening on April 7, Weinberg/Newton Gallery presents In Acts, a group exhibition inspired by the summit that will bring international artists to the University of Chicago’s campus later that month to ask: What is an artistic practice of human rights?

The summit, What is an Artistic Practice of Human Rights?, recieved extensive press coverage. Click this post for a list of publications and links.

What is an Artistic Practice of Human Rights? was a multi-day summit hosted by the University of Chicago from April 29 to May 2. See how this group of artists examined ways in which creative cultural resistance broadens our collective understanding of human rights.  

We seek proposals that team artists and scholars (one [or more] of whom will be a visiting fellow; the other one [or more], a University collaborator) for a collaborative project that encompasses research, creative production, and teaching. Fellowship awards fall between $40-70K and are customized to each project.

Gray Center Mellon Fellows Glenn Kotche (composer and percussionist) and Steven Rings (Department of Music) discuss the exciting early stages of their fellowship VoiceGrooveSong.
