For those wanting to explore the exhibition, McAnnally recommends starting at CITY Pavilion, The Griot Museum or The Luminary. These hubs are open at minimum Wednesday through Saturday and offer resources like free parking, exhibition materials, merchandise and staff who can answer questions. “We’ve designed the experience to be something you can revisit,” he says. “You can take a few hours in the afternoon and explore different aspects.” Counterpublic also has partnered with other arts organizations like the Kemper Art Museum, Pulitzer Arts Foundation and Saint Louis Art Museum for unique events and experiences.
While organizing an exhibition of this scale is a large undertaking, Counterpublic’s mission is even bigger. Its goal is to interrogate civic infrastructures to facilitate change. “We believe that artists hold up an important mirror to society,” Broughton notes. “Through storytelling, they can weave the chords of shared experience to bring us together. Art gives us the ability to have conversations that would otherwise be much more difficult. With Counterpublic, we’re sharing historical trauma and how those effects reverberate throughout St. Louis. It’s an opportunity to inform generational change within the community.” &

Oprah! No … Opie! Not that, either. Both are references to TV stars, neither of whom is Greek. Zorba? Yeah, OK. Opa? Now, that’s most of the Greek I know or really need to, except that the Parthenon sits on a craggy hilltop in Athens and wonderful cuisine is available at the metro’s two Greek festivals that bookend summertime in the StL: at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in the county over Memorial Day weekend and in the city over Labor Day weekend at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church. For the first time since the pandemic, the St. Louis County Greek Festival is back in-person with live music, traditional folk dancing, church tours, a vendor market and delicious authentic Greek cuisine at Assumption (1755 Des Peres Road). The annual festival takes place over Memorial Day weekend, May 26 to 29. Hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Monday from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Guests may sample a variety of foods from Greece, including souvlaki, dolmades, spanakopita, kebabs, baklava and more. A charity 5K/10K walk/run will also take place on May 27, benefiting FOCUS Gateway City, a denomination-based organization that distributes food, clothing and warm meals on Sundays and Wednesdays. To register, visit readysetgivestl.org. Please note that any purchases at this year’s fest are credit/debit card only; cash will not be accepted. Service animals are permitted in all areas of the festival that are open to the public. Leashed pets are permitted. For more information and to download the ultimate Greek Fest playlist, visit stlgreekfest.com. You might have to wait awhile before you hear anything familiar, because a version of “Zorba’s Dance” doesn’t come up until No. 62 in a 64-song Spotify playlist: #BeGreekForADay. Well, most anyone can be Greek for three minutes and 43 seconds, unless they collapse in a sweaty heap sooner during this instrumental, which starts off slowly and winds up at breakneck speed.
