The HCL Lab at Mana Contemporary
The HCL Lab is presented by Monira Foundation in partnership with HCL. This Joint Residency collaboration enables both organizations to meet artists where they are, promote visibility for the creative process, & respond to the evolving needs of our communities together.
HCL’s main studio is located on the 4th floor of Mana Contemporary, a multi-arts facility located between Chinatown; Bridgeport, home of a large community of Irish and Central Europe descent; and Pilsen and La Villita, Chicago’s two largest historically Mexican-American neighborhoods. The studio 1,700 square feet, equipped with Marley-faced sprung wood flooring, a 6’ Steinway piano, a PA system and projection equipment. Artists have access to additional onsite storage and the potential to use additional shared spaces at Mana Contemporary for both performance, workshop, rehearsal, and general meetings and administration based on request and availability.
