Curators Carolina Peñfiel of Local Project and Assa Bigger of m55 explain that the goal of the show is to "celebrate and capture the talent, creativity and spirit of LIC [Long Island City, Queens] and other area artists in a show that explore the significance of collaboration, social interaction and the sense of community." Priscilla has been selected as one of the artists participating in this summer's upcoming exhibition and projects.

[From the Press Release]
Artist Priscilla Stadler from Queens, New York knows very little about Chicago. But she does know the city is renowned for its political favoritism.
As a visiting artist at Mess Hall in Rogers Park, Chicago, from Sunday May 29 – Sunday June 5, Priscilla will be doing favors for people in Chicago. If you are in Chicago and need a favor during that week, Priscilla would like to help you, as long as it takes less than three hours and is not illegal.
You can also participate by doing a favor for someone else - no matter where you are - and letting Priscilla know: priscillastudio[at]gmail[dot]com . Please let her know so your favor will be included on the Map of FAVORS.
Current and former residents of Chicago are also invited to contribute their favorite anecdote of political favoritism (historical accuracy optional).
FAVORS is co-hosted by ACRE (Artists Cooperative Residency and Exhibitions) residency, and Mess Hall, an experimental cultural center "where visual art, radical politics, creative urban planning, applied ecological design & other things intersect & inform each other".
