Lukin and Segura will be joined in conversation regarding overlapping themes of identity and place in their curatorial practices by Carla Acevedo-Yates (Marylin and Larry Fields Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago), whose recently opened exhibition Forecast Form: Art in the Caribbean Diaspora, 1990s-Today  (November 19, 2022 – April 23, 2023) envisions a new approach to contemporary art in the Caribbean diaspora. Showcasing large scale sculpture, video, film and site-specific works throughout Navy Pier's Festival Hall, the 2023 IN/SITU program will be curated by Segura, while the 2023 EXPOSURE section, which highlights solo and two-artist presentations from galleries 10 years and younger, will be curated by Lukin.
