The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago presents contemporary art exhibitions, events, and publications. “The Ren”—as we are known by many—is an independent, non-collecting museum driven by an uncompromising commitment to artists and their ideas.For artists, we offer an unfettered platform for bold experimentation. Our work with artists frequently results in newly commissioned art, and these presentations in our gallery at the University of Chicago spur further scholarly and creative reflections in our publications and public programs.&nbsp; Events—including artist talks, lectures, screenings, concerts, readings, and more—offer further opportunities for discovery and discussion.&nbsp;All exhibitions and events are free to attend.Join The Ren's mailing list <a href="https://renaissancesociety.org/about/ ">here.</a>&nbsp;The Renaissance Society is a registered 501(c)(3). We are a member of Mod/Co, Common Field, and UChicago Arts, and we are an independent affiliate of the University of Chicago.Image: Dala Nasser, Adonis River, installation view, 2023.

The Renaissance Society presents Put to Rights, an exhibition of new and recent work by Shadi Habib Allah. Habib&nbsp;Allah&nbsp;is a New York and Miami-based Palestinian artist who works across film, sculpture, and installation, often drawing on a process of deep research and on-the-ground engagement in specific locales. Richly varied in form and focus, his projects run the gamut from reimagining a ghost story from 1930s Jerusalem to traveling along illicit trade routes with Bedouin smugglers.
