Documentation of a collaborative performance at a contested Christopher Columbus monument in downtown Chicago, IL. Participants held digitally altered photographs of the reclaimed sky.

Special thanks to Holly Cahill, Jenny Davis, Shir Ende, S. Y. Lim, Brittany Mehta, Christina Nafziger, and Brittney Leeanne Williams for their collaboration.

The day after this performance the City of Chicago removed the monument from the park.

On March 29, 2022 Mayor Lori Lightfoot said she “fully” expects Grant Park’s controversial Christopher Columbus statue to be returned to the site.
