talk differently? When are you what others want you to be? When are you the
most you?

connected by 38th & Chicago that show their shifting identities. Backstories
are included that will complicate and challenge perceptions. A zine

There will be a one-night exhibition at Wing’s Third Place Gallery where the
prints will be displayed and then given to the five people who are a part of
this project.

Art Blocks is a Pillsbury House + Theatre program that allows artists to use
their artistic practice to deepen relationships on the blocks where they live
in the Powderhorn Park, Central, Bryant and Bancroft neighborhoods. Each year,
we recruit an array of artists from various levels of experience and multiple
disciplines. Through a series of conversations and dinners, the artists dream
up an event or series of arts-based interactions that explore the history,
skills, identities, passions, and stories that make up a city block. By the end
of the summer, the artists have played a central role in deepening existing
relationships or forming new ones between neighbors.
