The opening reception is on July 6 at 6-8 p.m. The show will feature six paintings completed by the painter for her master's thesis proposal at Columbia. Ms. Diadenko, an immigrant from Ukraine, uses these paintings to provide a fresh, outsider's perspective to the age-old issue of racism in America. She interviewed hundreds of people of all races and religions, and collected their viewpoints, along with portraits and collages, into an original protest against racism. Also included in the show will be sculptures and paintings by Ms. Diadenko. The opening reception will also include poetry readings from various noted Chicago poets.
