Experience the opening reception of the highly anticipated exhibition, "Broken Yet Whole", by the talented artist Tanya Gill. This captivating exhibition will be held at the prestigious International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago. Taking place from November 10, 2023, to February 11, 2024, this event is not to be missed.

"Broken Yet Whole" delves into the concept of repair as a metaphor for human healing, exploring both physical and emotional restoration. Through the use of broken yet mended objects, darning, and painting, Gill takes us on a profound journey of mending and its implications. The artwork beautifully captures the duality of our human experiences, showcasing both our boundless optimism and our inevitable failures.

Gill's personal journey with her own health, as a stroke survivor, serves as the core catalyst for this groundbreaking exhibition. Her firsthand experience of the brain's ability to repair itself has profoundly influenced her artistic practice. By visualizing the complexities of healing and the process of putting the pieces back together, Gill encourages us to reflect on our own capacity for transformation and resilience.

The mended objects showcased in "Broken Yet Whole" come from various sources, including the IMSS's collection and the artist's own life. Additionally, individuals have been invited to contribute loved yet damaged domestic objects, further enhancing the collective narrative of healing and adaptation.

The opening reception for "Broken Yet Whole" will take place on Friday, November 10, 2023, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This event is free to attend and promises to be a truly unforgettable experience. Join us for an evening of art, reflection, and appreciation for the power of repair.

The International Museum of Surgical Science offers accessible accommodations, including a ramp entrance and elevator. If you require additional accessibility options or wheelchair seating, please contact the museum at info@imss.org.
