House Party Celebration “Tati’s Butter Joint” on Chicago's South Side

CHICAGO – As part of Links Hall’s Co-MISSION Curatorial Residency program, Take Some Leave Some will put on a performance of “Tati’s Butter Joint” for the community in The Block House Gallery, located at 11137 South Langley Ave. from 7:30 - 10 p.m. on Thursday, June 29. As part of Links Hall’s Co-MISSION series, Immerse yourself in a house party curated by Take Some Leave Some featuring performances, a live DJ, and food from local Black vendors.

Take Some Leave Some is a multidisciplinary performance collective that uses original sound, choreography, film, and installations to create experiences reflecting and celebrating Black women in our lives—their labor, courage, and wisdom even in their imperfections. Collaborators Keyierra Collins, Brianna Alexis Heath, and Jovan Landry intentionally create experiences inside homes and neighborhood spaces on the Southside of Chicago to reference “home” as a kind of safe space, a place for community where Black women learn foundational lessons, and are taught to be resilient and unapologetic.

In partnership with Links Hall is PullmanArts, home of The Block House Gallery, bringing together arts & culture on Chicago's far south side.

Sponsored by Links Hall, the Co-MISSION Curatorial Residency program supports a group of independent Chicago dance curators, producers, and social practice artists presenting new and existing performances by and for their communities. Artists will present work both at Links Hall and at neighborhood locations outside of a formal theater environment for their respective communities.

This event will take place at 11137 South Langley Ave. from 7:30 - 10 p.m. on Thursday, June 29 at The Block House Gallery. Tickets are $11 and may be purchased on linkshall.org. For more information on the event and others in the Co-MISSION Cultural Residency, visit linkshall.org.
