Chicago Architecture Center (CAC) is proud to host Open House Chicago (OHC) on October 19-20, 2024. OHC is a free public festival that offers behind-the-scenes access to architecturally, historically and culturally significant sites throughout Chicago, plus more than 40 events and programs at the sites, including demonstrations, talks and arts performances.

For the Open House Chicago 2024, South Asia Institute is hosting several events. Come and enjoy our current exhibition "What is Seen and Unseen" from 10 am to 5 pm. We will also be offering an exclusive tour of the exhibition led by Chicago-based Brendan Fernandes at 12 PM, who will discuss his work in this exhibition and his creative endeavors.

We are also thrilled to have Ami Kaye at 2:00 PM for a ghazal reading, followed by Shiwali Tenner and her ensemble at 2:30. Titled "Dancing Words," Tenner and her ensemble will showcase their graceful movements intertwined with the poetic essence of the ghazal, bringing its timeless emotions to life through the language of dance.

Join us for these amazing events. All free.
