This is your last chance to see Theaster Gates: Unto Thee, the artist's first solo museum exhibition in his hometown of Chicago, before it closes.

A self-designated “keeper of objects,” the artist Theaster Gates investigates the value of things and their potential to hold layered meanings. He has been dedicated to investing in the care of these objects as a way to nurture stories and voices – often Black stories and voices – largely overlooked by history or institutional structures.
