The Rundown | Chicago News

There’s an exhibit on the Near South Side focusing on South Asian artists who have come through and thrived in Chicago.

It’s called “What is Seen and Unseen: Mapping South Asian American Art in Chicago.” In this episode, Rundown podcast host Erin Allen talks to curator Shelly Bahl about some of her favorite things that she learned and brought forth into the exhibit.

“I’ve always been fascinated by the things that are left out of art history,” Bahl said. “It’s these things to me that really matter.”

The exhibit is open through October 26 at the South Asia Institute.
