Meet the Artist, Dominique Muñoz (@domo23 ), who is part of our partner Heaven Gallery's (@heavengallerychicago ) current exhibition, Strategies of Resistance: Immigrant Legacies Beyond Assimilation. Stop by during their gallery hours to see Muñoz's work in person! ⁠ ⁠ “Color in my work is not restrained; it spills, clashes, and glows. It becomes a mode of queer world-making, a kind of emotional architecture that shapes how space feels abundant, cultural, and full of possibility. Patterns become architectural elements that transform rooms into environments resistant to categorization.”⁠ ⁠ -Dominique Muñoz⁠ ⁠ Gallery Hours: Wednesday - Sunday, 1pm-6pm⁠

Please join our partner @heavengallerychicago this Saturday, May 16th, from 12pm-1pm for the Virtual Artist Talk for their current exhibition, Strategies of Resistance: Immigrant Legacies Beyond Assimilation. The Zoom link to the talk is available through the Linktree in their bio. ⁠ ⁠ This exhibition aims to focus on the political strategies used by Tesora Garcia (@tesoragarcia ), Lorena Molina, hazel batrezchavez (@hazelbatrezchavez_ ), Martín Wannam (@martinwannamremix ), Dominique Muñoz (@domo23 ), and Victor Yañez-Lazcano (@yanezlazcano ), whose many praxis mainly focuses on their identities coming from Mexico, El Salvador, and Guatemala, to challenge displacement and recenter their legacies within the United States. Through photography, sculpture, and performance, the featured artworks reveal how language, objects, gestures, and cultural practices can become tools of resistance against the homogenizing forces of the “American” mainstream.⁠ ⁠ We hope to see you at the virtual artist talk. If you can't make it to the talk, come see the show during gallery hours! ⁠ ⁠ Gallery Hours: Wednesday - Sunday, 1pm-6pm

Meet Ella Rinaldi, our partner @lvl3official 's, Chicago-based Artist of the Week. Check out the link in their bio to read more about her multi-media practice.⁠ ⁠ "I’ve been starting to adhere to the seasons when choosing mediums. For example, through this deep-freeze winter I’ve been sticking to graphite and ink, I always tend to take a slow tempo with those two. Whereas this warm weather is making me crave the frenetic tempo of working with hot wax; hard to control coupled with an almost nonexistent drying time makes you light on your feet. Perfect for summer."⁠ ⁠ @0greensbean0 ⁠ ⁠ #lvl3artistoftheweek

Check out our partner @thesilverroom artist talk with Kari Blak, + moderated by Maira Khwaja⁠ ⁠ This art exhibition showcases the work of contemporary visual artist, muralist, designer, and illustrator Kari Blak, alongside his brand, Petalhead. This exhibit delves into the unique universe Kari has created, utilizing character and storytelling to address a variety of pressing environmental issues, including sea level rise, flooding, habitat loss, plastic pollution, and wildfires. Through a captivating series, Kari introduces audiences to his main characters: Taru, a flower, and Miel, a bumblebee.⁠ ⁠ These figures invite viewers into their world and foster important dialogue about the urgent climate crisis we face. The exhibition features three distinct design series, Petalhead's first adult collectable / 3D figure, and a new T-shirt, among other works.
