An exhibition at the DePaul Art Museum titled “Remaking the Exceptional: Tea, Torture and Reparations, Chicago to Guantanamo” is acknowledging 20 years since the opening of a United States extra-legal prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The exhibition examines the local and international consequences of state violence, while simultaneously celebrating some of those torture survivors.
A book also accompanies the exhibition, with words written by artists, activist and torture survivors to further investigate the connection between torture methods in Chicago and the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay.
