AVA presents the opening reception of "A Portrait of Public Housing: Works by Jason Reblando"

For close to a decade, the Chicago Housing Authority has been involved in the controversial process of replacing current public housing complexes with mixed-income townhouses. Reblando creates portraits that challenge commonly held assumptions that public housing developments are simply places of poverty and misery. His portraits of public housing residents under the transformation plan attempt to convey the complex relationship residents have with the place in which they live, amidst the uncertain future of their community.
