Cheryl Pope in collaboration with the Homan Square community at SAIC's Tower Residency
In addition to her solo exhibition in the main gallery, Pope presents a collaborative project in the gallery's storefront exhibition space. Arising out of her time as the SAIC's current Tower Artist in Residence at Homan Square in North Lawndale, "Sometimes I think I be dreamin" is an homage to the strength of community ties and its many voices. Indeed, the installation will feature ALWAYS HERE, a memorial quilt that expresses the personal stories of Chicago's West Side.
