| Contemporary Authors and the Artistic Process In collaboration with Chicago Underground Library, Intuit hosts a panel discussion featuring authors John Bresland, Stephanie Kuehnert, Audrey Niffenegger and Bayo Ojikutu. The panelists will explore their multi-disciplinary sources of inspiration, the role biography plays in their work and how their studio contextualizes their practice. Moderated by Nell Taylor, Executive Director of Chicago Underground Library, with an introduction by Thea Liberty Nichols, Intuit's Study Center Manager. Audience members are invited to participate in a collaborative bookmaking project in homage to Darger's life's work. Bring in an item (a photo, artwork, magazine or newspaper clipping, etc.) to help create the text and imagery for a book that will be housed within CUL's collection and serve as the inspiration for the puppet show Henry Darger's Life (&) Work on October 28. |

The resultant performance will showcase TAC's talents and resourcefulness in a whimsical epic that re-interprets Darger's (home) life and (studio) work and the readers and viewers it continues to inspire. Admission: Donations accepted. |
