Chicago-based artist and cartoonist Jessica Campbell joins Curatorial Assistant Nina Wexelblatt in conversation around her current Chicago Works exhibition on view at the MCA through July. Campbell's exhibition re-envisions the life and artwork of Emily Carr (1871-1945), one of Canada's most renowned landscape painters, inspired by their shared roots in Victoria, British Columbia.
