After 11 years of producing and presenting high-impact visual advocacy projects in our beloved shared office and gallery space located at 625 N Kingsbury Street, our team at AWP will be moving out on March 31. 
To mark this occasion, we welcome back AWP’s founder, Leslie Thomas, who will be joining us for a special closing event featuring a conversation with managing director Bora Un on Sunday, March 23 from 3:00 – 5:00pm. This conversation will be moderated by AWP Board Member and DEI Manager at WBEZ, Steve Bynum.
During our time together, we will revisit some of AWP’s projects from across our 18 years of creating impact through powerful visual storytelling, and will share details about some upcoming collaborations with Leslie’s film production studio, MIRA Studios/MIRA Europe. Guests will also have the opportunity to view a glimpse of Leslie’s latest feature-length documentary film, The Sharp Edge of Peace, based on AWP’s 2012 project Women Between Peace and War: Afghanistan.
This event will serve as the closing event for our open house taking place on Saturday, March 22 – Sunday, March 23 from 12:00 – 6pm each day as we invite our Chicago community to come see the space for a final time, and to help us find new homes for a number of our ready-to-go exhibition kits, books, limited edition prints, and a range of unused exhibition materials and supplies that will be for sale, or free for the taking!
