SUMMARY:Illusions of Home: New Art Exhibit at the Cathie Kelsey Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Illusions at Home: New Art Experience at the Cathie Kelsey Art Gallery\n			\n				Register Now\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\n\n\nThe Iliff School of Theology invites our community to join us for our brand new art exhibit\, Illusions of Home\, in collaboration with the Nicole Longnecker Gallery. \nHosted during Denver Arts Week\, Illusions of Home\, featuring the work of Houston-based artist and educator Anthony Suber\, will be the second exhibit in Denver’s Cathie Kelsey Gallery at the Iliff School of Theology. This exhibit runs through February 2027. \nAbout the Gallery: Iliff recently transformed and opened the Cathie Kelsey Art Gallery\, named in honor of our former Dean of Faculty\, Dr. Cathie Kelsey. The gallery is open during Iliff’s normal business hours. \nAbout the exhibition: Illusions of Home\, in the words of artist Anthony Suber\, “brings together works spanning multiple chapters of my artistic practice\, anchored by a central title piece that interrogates the lived realities of the Black middle class. Rooted in personal experience\, the exhibition explores the fraught search for true liberation\, sovereignty\, and belonging within structures that often promise stability yet defer genuine freedom. Through multi-layered assemblage\, symbolic iconography\, and motifs of birth and transcendence\, the collection weaves a narrative around the enduring pursuit of self-determination.” \nAbout the Artist: Anthony Suber is a Texas-born multi-disciplinary artist based in South Texas. He holds a BFA from the University of Houston and an MFA from Houston Christian University. Suber’s practice spans exhibitions\, public projects\, and multi-layered activations presented nationally and internationally\, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki\, Greece; Project Row Houses in Houston\, TX; Tinney Contemporary in Nashville\, TN; the University Museum at Texas Southern University; the Tulsa Race Massacre Symposium in Tulsa\, OK; and the Houston Museum of African American Culture. His solo exhibitions include Red Bud Arts Center\, LRT Gallery\, Cindy Lisica Gallery\, and Nicole Longnecker Gallery in Houston\, Texas. In addition to his studio work\, Suber is a Professor of Art at the University of Houston’s Kathrine G. McGovern College of the Arts and serves as Creative Director of “The Blackman Project”\, a nonprofit addressing art and mental health. His work has been featured in Arts and Culture Texas\, Glasstire\, The Houston Chronicle\, and Free Press Houston. Suber was the recipient of the Artadia Art Prize in 2022 and the BIPOC Arts Network and Fund Award in 2025. \nReception information TBA.

SUMMARY:Critical Imagination Summit

Imagination not as escapism\, but as a rigorous practice for exposing power\, naming harm\, and cultivating more just\, livable futures. \nAttendees will take a systematic approach to developing emerging\, technological solutions by interrogating policies\, research\, narratives\, and outcomes.  \nPreliminary Schedule\n8:30 AM – 9 AM: Breakfast \n9 AM – 9:15 AM: Welcome by Dr. Philip Butler\, Director of Iliff’s AI Institute \n9:15 AM – 10 AM: Breakfast side chat w/ Dominique Lamb on Black Futures\, the Housing Industrial Complex\, and Re-imagining Quality of Life Foundations (Hosted by Dr. Philip Butler) \n10:15 AM – 11:45 AM Session 1: Dr. Tomi Oredein (Brite Divinity)\, Dr. Fallon Wilson (Black Tech Futures) and Christina Hudson (Temple University)“Imagining the Liminal – Converging the Future’s Past on the Present” \n11:45 AM – 12:30 PM: Lunch \n12:45 PM -2:45 PM Imagination Games – Dr. Gary Green (Twin Cities) and Eliza Sekou “Wiring Up the Future – Gaming Options that Play Beyond the Past” \n3 PM -4:30 PM Session 2: Dr. Danie Buhuro (Garrett Evangelical)\, Dr. Mark Graves (AI and Faith)\, and Dr. Girim Jung (Wesleyan University)“Shepherding Imagination: Dark and Prophetic Machines” \n4:30 PM-4:45 PM: Closing Remarks by Dr. Philip Butler \nStay tuned for additional updates on workshops\, featured speakers\, and programming. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				What is Critical Imagination?\nCritical imagination is a sociotechnical approach that asks researchers and designers to rigorously interrogate any domain and surface the social\, cultural\, ethical\, and political implications of technological choices. The inherent inquiry-based approach centers questions about how technological design and implementation shapes\, and is shaped by\, human systems and experiences.  \nThis approach combines critical analysis (i.e. history\, power\, values\, resources) with creative foresight (scenarios\, prototypes\, policies) and participatory methods (co?design\, stakeholder narratives). Through iterative cycles of imagination\, research\, prototyping\, and reflection\, we ask: Who benefits? Who is harmed or excluded? What social practices will this enable or disrupt? What unintended outcomes may occur? How might we change the future today? \nThe result is a design that is not only usable and useful but accountable and anticipatory—technology built  not merely as an instrument but as an active\, dynamic partner to human life \nVideo Links \nICE at Airports\, IL Primaries & AfroFuturism as Resistance | The Signal LIVE Ep 13  \nTHE MAPS.
