Shauna Quill, Executive Director of the University of Chicago Presents, was interviewed by Chicago Tribune’s John von Rhein in late August regarding the forthcoming Soviet Arts Experience, “an unprecedented collaboration showcasing works by artists of the Soviet Union.” Check out the article.

The festival is touted as being one of the largest collaborative artistic efforts across Chicago since the Silk Road Chicago in 2006/07. The 16-month-long showcase of works by artists who created under (and in response to) the Politburo of the Soviet Union will take audiences behind the Iron Curtain to explore its essence through the creative work of its visual artists, choreographers, composers, and dramatists.

Nearly 100 events will take place in 20+ venues across Chicago, including 8 art exhibitions, 9 dance performances, 50+ concerts, 2 theater productions, plus numerous lectures and symposiums.
