Virtual Tour of “For Each Other” Live from Gallery 400

Date / Time

November 18, 2022

3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

RSVP for Zoom on Eventbrite.

Join UIC Disability Cultural Center Director Margaret Fink and exhibiting artist Kennedy Healy for a virtual tour of For Each Other, a group exhibition highlighting the ways a group of Chicago-based artists and collectives consider care in their work and in the contexts they create for their work.

Kennedy Healy considers structures of care that constantly surround her but may be invisible to others. Many of her pieces incorporate medical bills, timesheets, and medical equipment, critiquing state systems of violence that are framed as systems of care. Rather than the American ideal of independence, Kennedy imagines a world built on interdependence.
