Following the Box
July 3, 2018–October 13, 2018
An estate-sale find of a shoebox filled with old photographs and negatives made in India in
1945 leads a Chicago couple halfway around the world. As they “follow the box” to try and
unravel the mystery behind who took these compelling photos and for what purpose, they
gather together contemporary Indian artists who each draw inspiration from these images and
create new artworks in response. The resulting exhibit is a cross-cultural exploration of the
power of art to reveal our different cultures and ourselves over time and space. At a time when
different points of view are often feared,
Following the Box
celebrates those differences.
