Still Here: Torture, Resiliency and the Art of Memorializing

March 15, 2019 – April 26, 2019

Still Here: Torture, Resiliency and the Art of Memorializing is an exhibition showcasing six design proposals submitted by commissioned artists to become the Chicago Torture Justice Memorial. The public memorial brings awareness to the torture of more than 120 Black men and women from 1972 to 1991 by the Chicago Police Department under the direction of former Police Commander Jon Burge. The memorial is intended to honor the decades-long struggle for justice, as well as the survivors, families, and communities targeted by Burge and his midnight crew.
