Film Manipulation Workshop:

2810 W Milwaukee Ave. Chicago, IL 60618
AIRMW presents Jackie Andres’s debut solo show Inangbayan / Motherland at Hairpin Arts Center as a part of their Arts Initiative Program. In the exhibition, we are given the unique opportunity to follow a gentle and restless investigation of the ‘inbetween’. Motherland offers insight into drawing the lines and making connections for ourselves. To be both outside and inside, to be at home and far away, but more than anything, to chase a feeling that feels so close, yet is unreachable.
Andres reaches from her own experience as a child of Filipino immigrants and as a young person in the world experiencing a primitive desire to belong. The show features hand manipulated film, Super 8 footage, and print media to lead her audience with care to an intimate look into the peripheral details of the Asian American diaspora.
More information HERE.
Gallery Hours:
Tuesdays & Wednesdays 5-7PM
Saturdays & Sundays 12-2PM
Email inangbayan.motherland.appt@gmail.com to make an appointment

205 E Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60601
Chicago Immigrant Stories (CIS) is a 4-part concert series where jazz, classical, and ethnic folk music intersect in new unexpected ways to share ideas on what it means to be American. Since the series began in 2017, CIS has engaged over 10,000 audience members on Chicago's vibrant immigrant communities.
CIS IV will explore "the stories that bind us" in a performance that highlights the unique characteristics of Chicago's Brazilian, Japanese, and Ukrainian communities, and brings our cultures together on stage to create an experience that is both wholly 'American' and uniquely 'Chicago'.
