ABOUT SOME OTHER WOMAN LIKE ME
Some Other Woman Like Me  is a surrealist exploration of the troubled relationship between a mother and a daughter that has been warped by devastating violence. A Henley Rose Finalist (2023–2024) and Title Wave New Works Semi-Finalist (2025), SOWLM was most recently presented at The Road Theatre Company in North Hollywood.

ABOUT human monument
human monument is an informel exploration of dado's ephemeral sculpture monument. 

informel, tadeusz kantor:
"a discovery of an unknown aspect of REALITY or of its elementary state: MATTER that is freed from abiding by the laws of construction,
always changing and fluid;
that escapes the bondage of rational definitions; that makes all attempts to compress it into a solid form
ridiculous, helpless, and vain;
that is perenially destructive to all forms
and is nothing more than a manifestation;
that is accessible only by
the forces of destruction,
by whim and risk and COINCIDENCE,
by fast and violent action.
(this discovery of) MATTER started a new adventure for art and human consciousness."

ABOUT GOLDILOCKS MOMENT
Goldilocks Moment is a playful yet contemplative exhibition that explores themes in the popular childhood fairy tale, such as when things are "just right." The artists are interested in the Goldilocks Moment as functional folklore and how the concept gets adopted by economists, scientists, and culture makers to describe a kind of moment, the right moment to leave, the moment to stay, the moment of creation, the moment of equilibrium, the “just right” state of being.

ABOUT THE FEAST
The Feast is an invitation to create and experience the arts differently. In our work we value collaboration, risk-taking, and opportunities for mentorship. We aim to foster an environment of experimentation, abundance, and play, and to create work that is highly theatrical, interdisciplinary, disobedient, and unforgettable.

ABOUT SONA CHICAGO
SoNa Chicago Contemporary Art highlights contemporary artists from Chicago. The gallery features art in a variety of media including paintings, prints, sculpture, photography, collages, ceramics, mosaics, jewelry, and textiles. The artwork carried by SoNa Chicago reflects the creativity and abundant energy of the human spirit. We value diversity and the perspectives of people with different backgrounds and experiences.
