“Echoes of Ferguson” exhibit opening

Join us for the opening reception for the exhibit “Echoes of Ferguson” at the Chicago Justice Gallery.

“Echoes of Ferguson” coincides with the 10th anniversary of the protests that followed the fatal shooting of teen Michael Brown by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. In a panel discussion, curator Lola Ayisha Ogbara and the Let Us Breathe Collective will explore the themes of veneration, grief, evanescent placemaking and memorials as monuments. The discussion will delve into the nature of uprisings and social movements and their significant impact, reflecting on the meaning of Ferguson 10 years later and its echoes in today’s global social justice movements.

Space is limited, so kindly RSVP.
