In the latest iteration of the MCA Chicago's Atrium Project, New York-based Dominican artist Firelei Báez fills the museum's two-story atrium with a large-scale reproduction of her painting Untitled (Drexciya) (2020). The work's title refers to the myth of Drexciya, a Black, water-breathing nation within the Atlantic Ocean populated by the descendants of pregnant African women who were thrown overboard from slave ships when they entered labor.
