Join Arts + Public Life for a two-day public salon, inviting writers, curators, artists, and cultural workers to engage with the 2025 Chicago Critics Table.

Join us for a two-day public salon inviting writers, curators, artists, and cultural workers to engage with the ideas and reflections of the 2025 Chicago Critics Table cohort. Designed by this cohort’s facilitator, Tempestt Hazel, Art on My Mind will take the form of an open studio for writers. Drawing from the essay and book of the same name, these gatherings take on bell hooks’ call for us to deeply involve ourselves in visual culture and the politics of seeing, in community and conversation with one another.

Saturday, Nov 8 | Featuring: Jennifer Torwudzo-Stroh, Felicia Holman, Nekita Thomas, and Yasmin Zacaria Mikhaiel
