Join Chellis House for our weekly Stitch & Bitch! Gather in feminist community to scheme, make art, meet new people, use your hands, and take a break from screens and school. All materials will be provided, but feel free to bring any projects you’re currently working on. Together we can build a better world, but first we must imagine it!
Chellis House Library
Join the artist Antonia Kuo for a presentation on her practice. Kuo’s work centers around recording, image-making, and the potential of the photographic medium. In her unique “photochemical paintings” she utilizes light-sensitive paper and photochemistry to capture light, time and mark making, collapsing her drawing and painting practice with photographic materiality. Like her photochemical works, Kuo’s sculptures serve as recordings of forms that are lost, obscured, and only partially remembered. FREE

Why do we get sick, old, and die?
Theoretically there is no reason organisms cannot live forever. However, except for maybe one animal, every thing that has ever lived, and will live, will get old, sick, and die. But if immortality is possible, why hasn’t it evolved?

Over the last several years, universities and museums have partnered with commercial technology firms like Google, Microsoft, and Meta, who have promised that their AI products will enhance both historical research and accessibility to historical collections. These promises, however, are not supported by the reality of what computer vision—the branch of AI most relevant to the history of art—can achieve. So why have major institutions in education and the arts been so quick to take up these firms’ offers?

This lecture by Jason Springs (Professor of Religion, Ethics, and Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame) introduces a novel understanding of what restorative justice is and how it should be implemented. It explores the ways in which restorative justice ethics and practices exhibit moral and spiritual dynamics, and what difference such “lived religious” dynamics can make in transforming structural violence.
