Eleven faculty members from the School of Art & Design will be featured in the upcoming exhibition, Another Place: Story-making the Entangled Prairie. The exhibition considers how people make and define place through stories, and how stories carry out a kind of labor, maintaining narratives about the places we live—and about us. Each artist will be premiering new work created for this project. The geographic focus of Another Place is the Prairie, Chicagoland, and Central Illinois, but its chronological focus is more expansive, with works addressing past stories, historical events, and imagined futures.
Opening night is January 29, 5–7 p.m., and the exhibition will run through July 2, 2026.
Featured Artists: Ryan Griffis, Emmy Lingscheit, Melissa Pokorny, Sharath Ramakrishnan, Stacey Robinson, Joel Ross, Stephen Signa-Avilés, Blair Ebony Smith, Nekita Thomas, Deke Weaver, Brooke White
