Collection: Candace Hunter Collection
Candace Hunter is a Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist, curator and advocate whose work interrogates history, identity and transformation through collage, painting, installation and performance. Drawing on found materials—vintage maps, magazine clippings, cloth, repurposed magazines—Hunter re-assembles landscapes of memory, politics and culture into rich mixed-media works that both celebrate and critique the legacies of race, place and power.
Hunter has exhibited widely—her solo exhibitions Dust in Their Veins and Hooded Truths premiered in Chicago (at the DuSable Museum of African American History and the South Side Community Art Center) and traveled nationally. Her contributions have been recognized with numerous honors, including the 3Arts Next Level Award (2021), the Elevate Climate Changemakers Award (2022) and the 3Arts Award (2016).
