On Saturday, September 21, the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art (UIMA) hosted the opening reception for the exhibition “Agency: Craft in Chicago from the 1970s-80s and Beyond.” This exhibition is generously supported by the Terra Foundation as part of Art Design Chicago 2024. The event drew many attendees, eager to experience this exceptional exhibit, which lives up to UIMA's stellar reputation. Dr. Adrienne Kochman, the exhibition's curator, delivered an eloquent introduction. Artist Ani Afshar who was excited to be part of the exhibit unfortunately passed away recently. She was remembered with words shared by her friend Melissa Leandro. The exhibition highlights works by Ukrainian and Chicago artists from diverse backgrounds.
