Kevin A. Williams Solo: THEN & NOW (Chicago)

It reflects on the complexities of history and identity, recognizing that while times may change, certain themes—struggle, resilience, joy, and resistance—continue to echo across generations.Visitors are invited to explore the idea that progress and evolution, though vital, do not always break the cycles that history tends to repeat. Instead, these cycles often return us to familiar places, emotions, and questions, drawing a continuous line between the past and the present. Through visual art, storytelling, and cultural expression, the exhibition challenges the notion of linear growth and asks us to reconsider how we define change. THEN & NOW, reminding us that time is not a straight path but a loop—where memory, legacy, and lived experience converge to shape our understanding of what was, what is, and what may come.
