Edra Soto, Destination/El Destino: A Decade of GRAFT
For Chicago-based, Puerto Rican–born artist Edra Soto, home is a psychic,
geographic place as well as a locus for gathering and community. It is also a
political space that defines who we are as civic and social beings. The complex
relationships between citizenship and migration, displacement and belonging,
inform the impressive suite of sculptural installations comprising
“Destination/El Destino: A Decade of GRAFT,” an unconventional survey
celebrating ten years of this ongoing project by Soto.
Forgotten Forms
The exhibition Forgotten Forms at the Chicago Cultural Center pairs the works of Edra Soto and Yhelena Hall, whose transformations of architectural elements of the everyday interrogate narratives of place to configure new urban landscapes marked by traces of memory.
