No Place Like Home Group Exhibition
January 31st – April 28th
Reception: February 21st | 5 – 6:30 PM, immediately followed by a lecture by Edra Soto
“The Schingoethe Center of Aurora University is pleased to present No Place Like Home, an exhibition featuring artwork by over 30 artists—including Theaster Gates, Dorothea Lange, Sally Mann, Wendy Red Star, Edra Soto, and Carrie Mae Weems—addressing the concept of home from multiple perspectives. Home is often associated with contemplation, cultural connection, and relaxation, yet for some home is a place of struggle, alienation, fear, danger, and political control. Focusing on the site of home as “not a place but simply an irrevocable condition” (James Baldwin), this exhibition expands the idea of home to include notions of privilege, family, and immigration. This exhibition will feature photography, sculpture, video, painting, textiles, and printmaking that will explore the many facets of home as a place of joy and sorrow; rest and labor; refuge and jeopardy. ”
