Thank you for watching!

In our one and only, extended cut episode of season 7, we talk with Architect Duo Dickenson and SAIC Professor Douglas Pancoast about the changing landscape of architecture in our society today. But it's not just about buildings. It's about us.

In the second episode of this season, we take a peek inside Patient Info—a DIY artist space here in Chicago that retains the structure of its former purpose: a doctor's office. To get a better understanding of the space and how its intact history converses with the work showcased in the venue, we sat down with MFA student and Director of Patient Info, Brian Jucas.

In this two-part season, we speak with SAIC students working beyond the studio, outside the institute—After hours. Our first episode follows BFA student Katherine Skwira-Brown as she guides us through the complicated creation process of her Terrain Biennial exhibition piece, 'Porch Portal'.

After exploring the history of SAIC's first dormitory as a former Playboy mansion, we had a lot of questions about how to talk about sex and sex work in the institutional space. So, in this follow-up episode, we speak with Shawné Michaelain Holloway, an SAIC professor and alum who recently taught a course titled "Sex and Gender in New Media." A large part of Shawné's instruction involves a critical engagement with existing ideas of sex and gender, so we asked her to share her observations about how these conversations have evolved over the years.

In this two-part season, we'll explore how conversations about sex, gender, and sex work have evolved at SAIC over the years. Our first episode recounts the story of SAIC's first residence hall — the original Playboy mansion — and poses some of the questions we can ask now, as artists and students.

When the U.S. put sanctions on Syria in December of 2019, Sami Ismat (MFA 2020) questioned this sequence of events through a performance that brought participants into the mind of a whistleblower. In this final episode of Season 4, Sami explains why exposing injustice is not always foolproof.

MFA first year Zhisheng Wu describes a project he worked on with residents of a shantytown in Southern China to preserve their memories after the demolition and reconstruction of their home. His sculpture, titled Message Wall, combined the bricks from the fallen town and the dreams and wishes of its residents into a single form to honor the community's roots.
