Arts + Public Life announces Never So Free: Black Queer Art + Assembly in Chicago, an exploration of the artistic legacies of queer, Black art-making spaces in Chicago.

Since early 2024, seven Chicago artists have been gathering for a series of salons, archival presentations, field trips and creative activations that affirm the critical role of dedicated spaces for queer Black artists.

Never So Free culminates with “Dream House” a collective multi-sensory installation and public program designed by the Never So Free artists.
