Who's In Control

This is the very question we plan to dissect as we tour throughout the City of Chicago Spring and Summer time 2026.  We will hold four separate six-session community centered upholstery circles in different areas: Southside, Southeast side, far Southside and the Westside of Chicago. 

In addition to teaching the skills of reupholstering furniture, our community upholstery circles will also focus on providing a unique and compelling entry point for participants to examine and engage in critical discussions about the historical timeline of inequity and systemic racism in Black communities. 

Our goal is to create a transformative experience that celebrates the power of art, culture and history. Our upholstery circles will explore the idea, while operating in a creation state of mind oppose to a survival state of mind, we can create healthy pathways that encourages sustainable collaboration in Black communities and removing barriers towards unity.
