Kurt Nahar, 'Elegua' (Spirits for Earth), 2021 - 'Wi Tru Fesi', artists: Shaundell Horton, Sri Irodikromo, Kurt Nahar & Sunil Puljhun. Local Masters: Erwin de Vries & Lilian Abegg
Material: light box parts, a motorcycle tank protector, cameo frames, a key and a key fragment, a wooden container, stones and a yellow candle.
Size: 70x106x18cm & 37x30x47cm
This artwork of Kurt Nahar is included in the exhibition 'LUNAR', where it is part of the ‘Wi Tru Fesi’ installation that includes unique ‘self-portraits’ of all participating artists. Nahar took his inspiration from Caribbean religions such as the Cuban Santería, which are based on the African Yoruba-religion. Within that framework, his artwork is a symbolic reference to the Elegua Orisha, a deity of among other things, crossroads, gates and pathways, especially between the earth and the divine realms.
Geïnspireerd op de Manifesto proclamatie tijdens ALAKONDRE: Wi Tru Fesi in februari 2021, is dit een installatie waarin van alle kunstenaars van wie in LUNAR werk is opgenomen, een soort zelfportret verwerkt is. Zelfportret dan niet in de letterlijke zin, maar wel in die zin dat de gekozen werken iets persoonlijks, iets dat heel eigen is, van de kunstenaars uitbeelden. Het zijn tevens kunstwerken waarvan de meeste, vanaf de start van het proces naar de expositie toe, al meteen opvielen en indruk maakten bij de curator Miguel Keerveld.
Zoals hij het door de gehele expositie heen doet, presenteert Miguel een deel van de kunstwerken niet aan de wand, maar geeft hij ze meer ruimte en dimensie door ze vanaf het plafond te hangen. De ‘zelfportretten’ van Lilian Abegg en Sri Irodikromo hangen voor een spiegel aan de wand, waardoor ook de kijker, wellicht ter zelfreflectie, in het beeld wordt meegevoerd. Op de grond onder enkele werken in de installatie, zijn ook bepaalde persoonlijke objecten neergezet, zoals bijvoorbeeld een hemd van Erwin de Vries in een kalebas, en keramiek werken en fragmenten van Lilian’s werk. Kurt Nahar laat zich inspireren door specifieke elementen uit de Afrikaanse Yoruba-religie die bijvoorbeeld te maken hebben met de Obalatá Orisha, met numerologie, de zon en de aarde. De curator selecteerde ‘portretten’ van Sunil Puljhun en Shaundell Horton die hij recht tegenover elkaar hangt, beide met een donker en sterk emotief beeld, maar met contrasterende uitdrukkingen van schreeuwende expressie en verzwijgende oppressie.
“Wi Tru Fesi laat een fusie zien, geïnspireerd op identificatie (het uitdragen van identiteit als veranderbaar), inclusie en diversiteit. Hierin vormen objecten, beelden en betekenis een harmonisch geheel tussen leven en dood. Deze holistische benadering streeft naar synergie; dat wil zeggen de kracht die ontstaat uit ontmoeting van tegengestelden, want als we elkaar wezenlijk kunnen zien voor wie we zijn, kunnen we samen werken aan de opbouw van een duurzame ecologie.” Miguel Keerveld.
Inspired by the Manifesto proclamation during ALAKONDRE: Wi Tru Fesi in Februari 2021, this is an installation that includes a type of self-portrait of each of the artists whose works are showcased in LUNAR. No self-portraits in the literal sense however, but more in the sense that the chosen works portray something that is quite personal and very unique to each artist. They are also artworks of which most immediately stood out and made an impression on the curator Miguel Keerveld, right from the start of the process leading up to the exhibition.
As he does throughout the entire exhibition, he presents some of the artworks not by hanging them on a wall, but from the ceiling, thus giving them more space and dimension. The ‘self-portraits’ of Lilian Abegg and Sri Irodikromo hang in front of a mirror on the wall, which has the effect that the viewer, perhaps in self-reflection, is carried along in the image. On the floor, underneath some of the artworks, the installation includes certain personal objects, such as a shirt of Erwin de Vries in a calabash, and ceramic pieces and fragments from Lilian’s works. Kurt Nahar takes his inspiration from specific elements of African Yoruba-religion, for example in relation to the Obalatá Orisha, numerology, the sun and the earth. The curator selected ‘portraits’ of Sunil Puljhun and Shaundell Horton, which he hung straight across from each other, both with dark and highly emotive images, but with contrasting depictions of screaming expression and silencing oppression.
“Wi Tru Fesi offers the viewer a fusion, inspired by identification (the propagation of identity as adaptable), inclusion and diversity. In this, objects, images and meaning form a harmonious whole between life and death. This holistic approach strives towards synergy; this also entails the strength that results from a meeting of opposites, because when we can truly see each other for who we are, we can work together to build a sustainable ecology.” Miguel Keerveld.

Perspectives Charter Schools conducted a Chicago Ideas Week Lab introducing the schools’ A Disciplined Life® (ADL) education model to the general public, and teaching them how to apply social emotional learning (SEL) in their own lives.
Students led up to 50 participants in an ADL class on Thursday, October 16 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Perspectives Rodney D. Joslin campus, 1930 S. Archer Ave. Participants engaged in rigorous discussion and self-reflection like Perspectives students do every day.
A Disciplined Life is a toolbox that teaches students how to be their best selves, cultivate healthy relationships, make informed decisions and become ethical, conscientious leaders. The curriculum was developed by Perspectives’ founders Diana Shulla-Cose, president of Perspectives, and Kim Day, the chief education officer.
“People will come away with a better understanding of social emotional learning and what students in inner-city schools are capable of,” said Rhonda Hopps, Perspectives’ chief executive officer. “We will inspire them to practice the 26 principles of A Disciplined Life to raise their level of fulfillment and civic engagement to drive positive social change.”
For one week, October 13-19, Chicago Ideas Week brings together some of the world’s most outstanding thinkers, inventors, leaders and creators to present their ideas and inspire the innovations of tomorrow. It is a platform based on sharing big ideas and making big things happen. Perspectives students make no small plans. Last June, student leaders organized a peace march down State Street on the South Side to express their hopes for a violence-free summer. More than 2,000 Perspectives students were joined by business and civic leaders, and the event was covered by some 30 media outlets.
Chicago Ideas Week Labs give people a chance to explore the best of Chicago, through exclusive access, behind-the-scenes experiences that give them a glimpse of the inner workings of businesses and institutions that are otherwise unavailable to the public.
Hopps, Shulla-Cose and Day will be in attendance during the lab.
Founded in 1997 by two public school teachers, Perspectives Charter Schools is a network of five open-enrollment public schools on the South Side, serving nearly 2,200 students. Perspectives prepares students for college and for life with its A Disciplined Life® education model that combines academic rigor with a focus on character development. Despite coming from some of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods in Chicago, Perspectives students graduate from high school, enroll in college, and persist towards graduation at rates above the national average.

Stylin in Anne Fontaine jacket, we headed out for our Photo Friday walk. It was cold during our photo walk. It was sunny too. So I wore gloves and shades. Little difficult to handle camera in gloves, but I managed. I took this shot against a window of a building.
