A history of the women at the center of Chicago's dynamic artist-run culture Collective projects are the lifeblood of Chicago's art scene. Where the Future Came From expands upon previous research by refocusing the narrative around the work of women and women-identified makers from the late 19th century to the present. The book documents a 2018-19 open-source participatory exhibition, symposium and series of accompanying programs at Columbia College Chicago that explored the roles of feminism and intersectionality in approaching this history. In addition to a chronology, transcripts and essays, the book features personal and scholarly accounts of feminist cultural work.
