ArtSpeaks: Finding My Way Home was a special collaboration presented by Woman Made Gallery and VibrantCast on Sunday, October 26, 2025 (2–4 p.m.) at Woman Made Gallery, 1332 S. Halsted St., Chicago.
ArtSpeaks, an ongoing VibrantCast series, brought writers and visual artists together through creative dialogue. Chicagoland writers performed original pieces inspired by the exhibition Finding My Way, reflecting on the many meanings of “home” as comfort or challenge, memory or imagination.
Featured contributors included: Le’Trice Buckingham, Lydia Burris, Lor Clincy, Devon Foster, KRO, Iris Orprecio-Price, and Myron L. Stokes.
ArtSpeaks is VibrantCast’s signature live event series that pairs visual art with original writing and performance. In each edition, writers engage directly with exhibited artworks, create new pieces inspired by what they see, and then perform those works aloud for the audience—often alongside an exhibition setting and, at some events, live music to deepen the atmosphere.
