Description:

Join the Block Museum Student Associates in The Living Room for a close look at 10 photographs from the series Immigrant Owned by Jonathan Michael Castillo that highlight small businesses in Chicago owned or operated by Chicagoans who are immigrants. The Living Room is a drop-in space at The Block Museum that invites students and other visitors to gather, reflect, and connect with a small selection from the museum’s collection, rotating each month.

Block Museum Student Associates (BMSAs) are Northwestern undergraduates representing interdisciplinary fields of study from across the university. In the galleries, BMSAs extend welcome to our exhibitions and permanent collection and engage visitors in conversations about artworks that spark their curiosity.

Participation level – medium, participants are encouraged to respectfully share their own perspectives, thoughts, and questions throughout the Art Talk.   

Programs are open to all, on a first-come first-served basis. RSVPs not required, but appreciated.
