SUMMARY:COMING TO THE TABLE: In Conversation with Skyla Hearn
DESCRIPTION:Archivist Skyla Hearn and SSCAC Public Engagement lead Zakkiyyah Najeebah Dumas-O’neal kick off 3831/VOICES to engage in an informal conversation that traverses Skyla Hearn’s archiving practice\, their intersecting connections to Black women arts workers and SSCAC\, and the influences that help sustain them in their work.\nGrab a cup of tea – or wine\, and join us! All attendees are welcome to join in on this conversation\, so come ready to talk\, reflect\, and ask questions!\n\n3831/VOICES is a new program series of conversations and lectures featuring Black artists\, scholars\, curators\, historians\, and arts workers that invite our community into their creative practices\, research\, and conceptual processes\, and more! 3831 takes after SSCAC’s exact numerical address in the historic Bronzeville neighborhood.

As an archivist\, liberatory memory and cultural worker Skyla is most concerned with supporting a community’s attempt to understand\, document and share its own history\, particularly those aspects that have not been well recorded. Skyla’s passion and dedication towards the creation\, management\, preservation and accessibility of archives\, with particular focus on BIPOC LGBTQIA+ collections\, ephemeral materials\, knowledge development\, and social justice has provided her with unique opportunities to work with diverse individuals\, communities and repositories at various capacities nationally and internationally.\n\nSkyla is also co-founder of The Blackivists\, a collective of trained Black memory workers who provide expertise on archiving and preservation practices to communities in the Chicago land area; and the inaugural Manager of Archives for Cook County Government under the Offices of the President of the Board of Commissioners.\nAs a legacy keeper\, she recently (March 2021) co-edited the zine publication Our Girl Tuesday: An Unfurling for Dr. Margaret T.G. Burroughs alongside Sarah Ross and Tempestt Hazel with an introduction by Mariame Kaba\, published by Sojourners for Justice Press.

DESCRIPTION:A virtual conversation from South Side Community Art Center’s 3831/Voices Series. \n3831/VOICES is a new program series of conversations and lectures featuring Black artists\, scholars\, curators\, historians\, and arts workers that invite our community into their creative practices\, research\, and conceptual processes\, and more! 3831 takes after SSCAC’s exact numerical address in the historic Bronzeville neighborhood.

SUMMARY:Greek Independence Day: The Struggle for Freedom
DESCRIPTION:On March 25th\, we commemorate Greek Independence Day. Two hundred and one years ago\, the Greek struggle for independence from the Ottoman Empire began. The Greek fight to end four hundred years of Ottoman Turkish oppression attracted the attention and support of people around the world. Consequently\, the Greek War of Independence became the first in line of “freedom struggles\,” in which a national or civil war for independence or sovereignty attracted would-be freedom fighters from around the world. \nIn this special NHM Discussion\, we will explore why the Greek War of Independence ignited such passion in non-Greeks and how the legacy of “Greek Freedom” served to create the idea of a universal “cause of freedom” that transcends national and ethnic borders. \nThis event will be recorded.

SUMMARY:Kozmopoliz Kampopoliz: A Tour of Cosmo Campoli's Hyde Park
DESCRIPTION:Take a trolley tour through the Kozmopoliz\, also known as Cosmo Campoli’s Hyde Park\, as we celebrate the 100th birthday of the late artist.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nMany know Campoli’s Bird of Peace sculpture in Nichols Park\, but he lived in the neighborhood for over 40 years\, leaving his mark on everything from what was eaten at certain restaurants (Spaghetti A La Gargoyle anyone?) to what got shown at the 57th St. Art Fair. On this tour\, we’ll retrace his steps\, searching out the bits of Hyde Park’s past that survive to this day. \nTour Guide: Paul Durica is the Director of Exhibitions at the Newberry Library. He has a PhD in English from the University of Chicago\, where he developed a series of free and interactive walks\, talks\, and reenactments dealing with Chicago’s past. These public history experiences have received local and national media attention and led to collaborations with cultural institutions from across the city. This is his fifth Hyde Park tour. Find out more at https://pocketguidetohell.com/ \nAdvance RSVP’s are required. Space is very limited. Masks and proof of vaccination required. \nThe trolley will load and unload passengers outside the Logan Center for the Arts\, 915 E 60th St. \n\n\nThis event is part of a day-long series of events\, Cosmo’s Cosmos: 100 Years of Birth\, Death\, and Rebirth. \nMarch 21\, 2022 will be the centenary of the birth of sculptor and Hyde Park resident Cosmo Campoli. Campoli (1922-1997) was part of the “Monster Roster” group associated with the Chicago Imagists in the 1950s\, including Leon Golub and H.C. Westermann. His work\, which frequently centered on themes of birth and death\, was exhibited as part of the Chicago Imagists at the Hyde Park Art Center. His sculpture\, “Bird of Peace\,” known colloquially as “The Egg\,” is a well-known piece of public art in Nichols Park. \n\nThis event is part of the Chicago Lost & Found series of events focused on Chicago art history created by Media Burn Archive. It is being held in partnership with the Smart Museum of Art and the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts at the University of Chicago.  It is presented as part of Art Design Chicago Now\, an initiative funded by the Terra Foundation for American Art that amplifies the voices of Chicago’s diverse creatives\, past and present\, and explores the essential role they play in shaping the now.

SUMMARY:Irish Art in Practice: Demands of Hope
DESCRIPTION:The Irish American Heritage Center\, in partnership with the Consulate General of Ireland\, Midwest\, presents Irish Art in Practice. Join Jennifer Keating\, Ph.D. as she brings us through the world of Irish arts and artists\, and the living applications and impressions it makes on the world around us. Jennifer Keating is a Senior Lecturer and the Writing in the Disciplines Specialist in the William S. Dietrich II Institute for Writing Excellence. Most recently\, she served as Assistant Dean for Educational Initiatives in the Dietrich College for Humanities and Social Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. She brings an educator’s perspective to this fascinating series. \nDemands of Hope\, March 31st\, 7:00pm CST \nIn spring 2020\, in the throes of the Covid-19 lockdown\, Rita Duffy completed a residency at Trinity College confined like much of the world. She began sketching flowers akin to those she saw emerging in Dublin\, as well as highly detailed anatomic drawings of human organs\, exploring the strength and fragility of our systems in the face of a threatening pathogen. In Demands of Hope we will screen Duffy’s original animation\, Anatomy of Hope. We will also view key works by Ursula Burke like The Politicians\, as we explore the duality of hope: its yearning for something bright\, the preservation of what we treasure or the introduction of something new and our deep fears that such optimism may not manifest.

SUMMARY:April Call to Peace with Peter Magai Bul
DESCRIPTION:Join us to send peace and love to all countries and meet our inspirational special guest Peter Magai Bul. https://theimmigrantstory.org/lost-boy/\nWe met Peter when he started representing South Sudan in the World Peace Flag Ceremony in 2014 at Peace Day. (Buildthepeace.org) and he has been huge supporter every year since then. Peter embarked on harrowing journey as one of the “Lost Boys and Lost Girls of Sudan” at the age of 8 when his ethnic Dinka population was attacked by the Sudanese government sending thousands of boys and girls separated from their families to survive over a decade struggling for their lives in exile. Hear about how he relied on his strong cultural upbringing to make it through years of unimaginable conditions and then went on to draw on his experiences to become a human rights activist and a community organizer\, inspiring youth to leverage their own experiences to make a change in the world. Also learn about his upcoming exhibit at Navy Pier:\nhttp://www.southsudanmagaibul.org/events\nJoin us here live or on zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81369934785 ID 813 6993 4785\nRead Peter’s complete bio below:\nPeter Magai Bul was born in Wangulei\, South Sudan. In 1988\, when Bul was only seven\, war in Sudan forced him to leave his family and embark upon the longest exodus of his life that first sent him to exile in Ethiopia. He is one of 26\,000 “Lost Boys and Lost Girls of Sudan\,” driven from their villages when the Sudanese government attacked his ethnic Dinka population of Southern Sudan in 1988. After escaping the Ethiopian war of 1991 to the border of Sudan and Kenya\, further attacks by the Sudanese government’s soldiers forced a final exile to Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya where he and about survived 14\,000 Lost Boys and Lost Girls resisted life-threatening conditions for a total of nine long years. Bul and about 3\,800 Sudanese refugees were finally resettled in the US in 2001.\nDuring his long walk\, he relied on his strong cultural upbringing that allowed him to survive. Later\, in the U.S.\, he drew on his experiences to become a human rights activist and a community organizer\, inspiring youth to leverage their own skills to make change in the world. As a survivor and a member of generation betrayed by the Sudanese leaders who murdered and displaced millions of his people throughout many decades of endless civil wars\, Bul is committed to championing the unity of his scattered people as well as peace in South Sudan and from the around the world. Throughout his thirteen years of struggles from various refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya\, Bul served as a leader\, caring for hundreds of motherless and fatherless children and he continue serving others throughout his over twenty years of living in the United States of America.\n\nBul shared his story with thousands of people at the invitations of faith-based institutions\, community organizations\, universities\, high schools\, elementary schools\, and other public venues. He made television appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show\, Avy Meyers North Town News Magazine\, as well as in news segments on WGN\, Voice of America\, and CAN TV\, among others. Stories from various aspects of his life have been published in news sources such as The Chicago Tribune\, Chicago Sun Times\, and Naperville’s Daily Herald. Bul is a passionate advocate for his homeland and the U.S Sudanese Community. He served as a Board Member for the Chicago Association for the Lost Boys of Sudan (CALBOS) and Sudanese Community Association of Illinois (SCAI)\, among others. He cofounded and served as a President of nonprofit organization\, the Philadelphia-based Ayual Community Development Association (ACDA). Bul is also a member of the US-based advocate\, humanitarian\, and charitable groups known as the Ambassador Group (AG) and Coalition of Advocates for South Sudan (CASS).

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Dr. Don Grossnickle - My Maja: A Grandson's Tribute
DESCRIPTION:My Maja\, A Swedish-American Proud Grandson’s Tribute by Chicago’s Dr. Don Grossnickle \nMaja\, a young roaring twenties Swedish adventurer set sail on a luxury steamship to New York and on to Chicago in 1922 for a visit to relatives. Maja fell in love and spent the rest of her life pursuing the American Dream. Adversity challenges were extreme for a widowed single mother of three balancing long hours as a night nurse and running a boarding house. Ups and downs while being alone in a hostile struggling America during the Great Depression almost killed her. Maja claimed her Swedish upbringing\, character and faith carried the day. History has not taken note of the great guts\, gumption\, perseverance\, determination of Swedish women immigrants. The book\, My Maja\,-is meant to awaken history and to keep Maja’s\, “framåtanda” fully alive forever. \nCome and chat with Don Grossnickle about the Swedish-American Spirit living in each of us today. To register for this event you an email museum@samac.org or call 773.728.8111. Fika (coffee and treats) will be available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Online Artist Talk: SAMDI
DESCRIPTION:Join HAMOC and SAMDI for an artist talk and Q&A.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nSAMDI is a contemporary Haïtian artist based in Miami. His work\, described by the artist as Sen Soley. Painting from a rhythm. A space where self is looking inwards and possibilities are endless. His work consists of cubist style portraits and a semi abstract approach to figuration. \nSelf exploration and the understanding of the spirit as a human in this space are at the core of SAMDI’s artistic practice. His work can reflect deep emotional trauma and at the same time express the beauty of love. The artist lets the audience be the author of their experience as they have to search inwards to make sense of what they are viewing or feeling.
