About program

Join us at the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum for a communal arts activation, presented in partnership with Court Theatre to celebrate the world premiere of Berlin.

In this activation – comprised of a shared meal, a bookmaking workshop, and collective creation and reflection – multidisciplinary artist and educator Silvia Ines Gonzalez will draw on Berlin’s themes of resistance; how knowledge is cultivated and spread in our communities, now and in the future; and Hull-House practices of participatory artmaking. Let’s imagine new ways to shape our shared world – together.

In order to make the most of your experience, we encourage you to see Berlin, onstage from April 19 – May 11 at Court Theatre (5535 S. Ellis Ave).

Silvia Gonzalez is a multi-disciplinary artist and educator in Chicago creating spaces where collective wellness takes on critical dialogue, art making, and community building.  Her visual and audio work is a ballad to nostalgia–the borderline between myth and memory. Silvia has curated and facilitated workshops to address structures of power, imagination, repair, collective care, play, confinement, and freedom. Her work has been exhibited at The National Mexican Museum of Art, Woman Made Gallery, Hyde Park Art Center, MdW Fair, Chicago Art Department, ACRE, and local grassroots art spaces
