Kelly Kristin Jones: Plinths for the People

Plinths, the heavy platforms that hold up statues and monuments, are by their very definition not made for all. Plinths for the Peopletakes the historical plinth and turns it into a grand stage activated by the community. Kelly Kristin Jones ensures that all stories, voices, and visions are acknowledged as community members speak their truth and perform their triumphs, creating their own kind of monument.

Join us at 21c Chicago on April 15 from 2-3pm to bear witness to those who choose to stand atop the plinth, and be inspired by local spoken word artists.
