The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago presents MCA Prime Time, the late night event that taps into the creative pulse of Chicago with a dynamic mix of live music, performance art, and interactive programs.
The evening features three headliners: Noname, who blurs the lines between poetry and rap; Jamila Woods, whose music is rooted in soul and hip hop; and RP Boo, whose DJ sets are heralded as launching the Footwork dance style. Prime Time, presented in partnership with local indie tastemaker Pitchfork, takes place Saturday, November 19, from 7-11 pm at the MCA.
To complement each of the headline sets, locally produced art activations by artists-such as DJ Audio Jack of Slo 'Mo Party-take place across the museum. Each of these projects explores the evening's theme of "Ascend," with projects about growth, renewal, ritual, and harmony. Pop-up food and drink are also available for purchase.
