Dawit L. Petros: Prospetto a Mare
August 30 – December 20, 2024
“Using Chicago’s Balbo Monument and Balbo Avenue as starting points, Petros explores the legacy of Italian fascism on the visual landscape of Chicago. Both the monument and the street pay homage to fascist aviator Italo Balbo, who directed a squadron of seaplanes that flew from Italy to Chicago during the 1933-1934 Chicago World’s Fair. The monument is an ancient Roman column gifted to the city by dictator Benito Mussolini that promotes fascism and still stands just east of Soldier Field. ”
