Chicago Calling: Words & Images by Esteban Colon & Tony Renner

Many thanks to Chicago poet Esteban Colon, who wrote poems inspired by four of my photographs and paintings and then created broadsides combining words and image.

According to Chicago Calling's website:

"The Sixth Annual Chicago Calling Arts Festival is a multi-disciplinary collaboration festival that happens during Chicago Artists Month. During the Sixth Annual Chicago Calling Arts Festival, people in the Chicago area work with people outside of Chicago -— both here in the U.S. and abroad; these collaborations include a range of art forms, such as music, dance, film, literature, and intermedia -— and they are prepared or improvised."
