MCA Chicago Presents On Stage: Frictions
Will Rawls, Shamel Pitts | TRIBE, and Barak adé Soleil explore Blackness, queerness, movement, and dance in performances at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.
This year’s On Stage series at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago focuses on the frictions that exist in a society shaped by race — and the transformative power of productive resistance.
Opening April 6, On Stage: Frictions presents performances by three artists — Will Rawls, Shamel Pitts | TRIBE, and Barak adé Soleil — who aim to defy and explore conventional notions of Blackness, queerness, movement, and dance. Their works engage themes of queer intimacy; disabled bodies in motion and at rest; and the relationship between animation, race, and history.
