Opening night at Snowflake and Drive-By

September 12th, 7:00 - 10:00 @ Snowflake and Drive-By

On June 1, 2009, Chicago musician Stephanie Morris died unexpectedly and tragically, leaving behind too many questions for her friends and family. We Are Here — a collaboration between her husband, artist Nathan Keay, and friend, writer Jonathan Messinger — is a first attempt at addressing the aftermath. St. Louis native Keay’s photos, taken in the weeks after Stephanie’s death, evoke the itinerant loneliness felt after the loss, and the sense of community that has come together since. Messinger will read several stories inspired by Steph's life, and her untimely death.

Jonathan Messinger is the co-founder of featherproof books, and author of the short-story collection Hiding Out.

Nathan Keay lives and works in Chicago.

Opening at 7:00 p.m., reading begins at 8:30 p.m.

Bryan Eaton will be revealing his Drive-By installation, "Nothing Lasts Forever", during the same event.

The show will run through October 28, 2009.

Snowflake is open Saturdays from 11:00 - 3:00.

Drive-By is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
