Curator-Led Gallery Tour of “Aquí en Chicago”

Chicago has been home to Latino/a/e communities since the 1800s. Their descendants have actively carried on and protected Latino/a/e cultural heritages and traditions. Today they stand firm in the face of systems and policies of oppression and remain Here in Chicago—Aquí en Chicago.

Included with general admission. RSVP required.
