Built on Belief: First Presbyterian Church

In the church's greenhouse garden, Bella Adekoya has built a conversation pit framed by arched mesh trellises draped in climbing vines. The church put up a solar greenhouse here in 1981; Imole Grove turns its garden into somewhere to sit and talk.

Inside, the sanctuary of this 1927 Gothic church holds the other two commissions. Schetauna Powell's The Living Quilt turns patterns from African American vernacular traditions into communal furniture for sitting and storytelling. Eva Nwachukwu's Sanctuary of Breath fills the room with spatialized audio, light, sculpture and community-sourced voices, tracing Black sacred sound from hymns to prayers. While you listen, look up: the stained and clear glass still carries historic bullet damage.

No critic has reviewed it. It isn't at the Center on Wacker Drive but in Woodlawn, at 6400 S Kimbark Ave, in a working church with Sunday worship at 11am. Neither the CAC nor the church lists viewing hours or a price, so call the church (773-363-0505) first. Metra's 63rd Street stop is 0.2 miles away.
