Museum of Contemporary Photography >> American Origami / #HereToo Theater Performances (Chicago, IL.)

 

View this email in your browser FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE #HereToo-COLUMBIA COLLEGE CHICAGO and American Origami  A collaboration in conjunction with American Epidemic: Guns in the United States   This October, the Museum of Contemporary Photography (MoCP) at Columbia College Chicago has partnered with Columbia College Chicago’s Theater Department, and #HereToo for an evening of two distinct, devised plays examining America’s gun violence epidemic through different lenses. The plays have been created in conjunction with the current exhibition American Epidemic: Guns in the United States, on view at the MoCP through February 20, 2022.  American Origami, based on Andres Gonzalez’s photographic project on view in American Epidemic, looks back at seven mass shooting events across America, beginning with Columbine and culminating in the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas in Parkland, FL. #HereToo’s inspiration begins with the Parkland shooting and the March for Our Lives movement that emerged and weaves together national, regional, and Chicago stories of survivorship and gun violence prevention activism. American Origami and #HereTooCCC are directed by Barbara Pitts McAdams and Jimmy Maize respectively. The plays will run from October 13 to October 23, 2021. "We are so proud to bring this interdisciplinary project into fruition,” says Karen Irvine, Chief Curator and Deputy Director at the MoCP. “This collaboration has allowed us to not only explore the traumatic impact of gun deaths and injuries in the United States, but also the important connections between visual art, performance, and activism." The plays will be performed in theater spaces that have an upgraded filtration system and increased cleaning measures. The theaters are limited to 75% capacity. All patrons, regardless of vaccination status, will be required to wear a mask at all times. General admission tickets are $15. Discounted tickets for students and senior citizens are $10 and can be purchased on the Columbia College Chicago Theatre Department’s website. Information about tickets is available at 312 369-6101 during weekdays.
