SUMMARY:The Paglees: Between Reason and Madness
DESCRIPTION:South Asia Institute is pleased to announce its new exhibition\, “The Paglees: Between Reason and Madness\,” in collaboration with the Paglees. \nThe Paglees is a feminist collective of artists of South Asian origin living across the United States. Paglee or pagli means crazy woman in a number of South Asian languages. The Paglees are: Fawzia Khan\, Indrani Nayar-Gall\, Monica Jahan Bose\, Nirmal Raja\, Pallavi Sharma\, Renluka Maharaj\, and Shelly Bahl. \nIn their debut exhibition\, The Paglees investigate – with fierceness\, beauty\, and wit – the impact on women of generations of patriarchy\, religion\, white supremacy\, colonialism\, violence\, capitalism\, and environmental plunder. \nThe title of the exhibition derives from Rosa Parks’ words: “There is just so much hurt\, disappointment and oppression one can take. The bubble of life grows larger. The line between reason and madness grows thinner.” (Rosa Parks: Writings\, Notes and Statements\,1956-58). \nFeaturing mixed-media works on paper\, fabric\, and canvas\, sculpture\, performance\, photography\, installation\, and moving image\, The Paglees: Between Reason and Madness\, questions and reframes the labeling of non-conforming women as crazy and the marginalization of immigrant women of color. This collective exhibition presents new decolonial narratives that center the reason and wisdom of brown women of the Global South and diaspora\, and provide pathways to a creative feminist future. The Paglees believe in working in collaboration with other marginalized communities to build bridges and demand social\, environmental\, and legal justice for all. \nTHE PAGLEES\nFawzia Khan | Indrani Nayar-Gall | Monica Jahan Bose | Nirmal Raja | Pallavi Sharma | Renluka Maharaj | Shelly Bahl

SUMMARY:Immense Journeys
DESCRIPTION:Immense Journeys: Art\, Nature\, Science and Beyond\nFeaturing Melissa Jay Craig\, Lisa A. Frank\, Anne Hughes  \nOn display until March 3rd\, 2024  \nMelissa Jay Craig\, Lisa A. Frank\, and Anne Hughes lead lives rich in creative experiences informed by nature. Day by day\, art practice and the natural world awaken shoots of imaginative reflections and actions. This exhibition brings together varied\, visual art forms to stand on their own and resonate off the others through surprising interconnections (just like nature itself). A purposeful confluence provides many pathways into appreciation of process and range. It allows for thoughtful exploration of the infinite ways in which nature affects our lives and we affect nature. Presented here are works by three artists who\, over decades\, have embraced the wonders of nature and witnessed results of human actions and inactions. Deepfelt desires\, to share their personal artworks and stir the passions of others to engage\, reside at the heart of this exhibition. There is no one-way in. Creativity and nature inspire\, confound\, amaze\, and amuse.

SUMMARY:Notes from the Field
DESCRIPTION:Witness the powerful stories of 19 individuals fighting to overcome and transform America’s education and criminal justice systems.\nTHIS STRIKINGLY INTIMATE PIECE presents snapshots from a variety of real people\, documenting their intersections with the American dream and the obstacles that work to block them from it. Utilizing verbatim dialogue pulled from more than 250 accounts from students\, faculty\, prisoners\, activists\, politicians\, and victims’ families\, Notes from the Field takes audiences on an emotional journey through the faults and injustices of an American criminal justice system that seems more focused on incarceration over education. Deeply human\, profoundly moving\, and full of moments of humor\, compassion\, and resilience\, it’s a masterful work that asks you to observe\, be present\, and join the call for urgent and necessary change. \nOriginally performed by creator Anna Deavere Smith as a one-woman show\, in TimeLine’s Chicago premiere\, three actors weave together narratives of change makers\, activists\, and those caught within the system for an evening of theatre unlike anything you’ve experienced before.

SUMMARY:What You See Is What You Get By Johan Wahlstrom
DESCRIPTION:Wahlstrom is a 5th generation Swedish artist from Stockholm. He began his artistic career in music and transitioned to painting in 1998. He often pulls inspiration from his previous career as a musician and from his experiences traveling the world. Wahlstrom continuously looks to critique and re-frame society through his comedic\, abstract style. In “What You See Is What You Get” Wahlstrom reconnects with the artists who originally inspired him such as Wassily Kandinsky\, Franz Marc\, Karel Appel\, and Asger Jorn. Pieces in this series comment on political and social concerns such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine and current Swedish politics.

Rice highlights the contributions of various cultural institutions in Bronzeville.

To name a few\, Margaret Burroughs\, Richard Wright\, William Walker\, Gwendolyn Brooks\, and members from AfriCOBRA have all established a creative foundation in Bronzeville. Nevertheless\, the significance of their contribution is not only the artwork they produced\, but also the aesthetic tradition that they established. This aesthetic tradition was founded to reframe the fraudulent historical narrative of African Americans. Today\, there are a number of artists who are following this aesthetic tradition. This documentary will introduce its audience to the cultural traditions that emerged from the Bronzeville community. This tradition challenged the status quo through activism\, visual arts\, literature\, and academic research.Tracing Our Path Through Bronzeville will highlight the contributions of various cultural institutions in Bronzeville\, and contemporary African American artists that attempted to redefine the image and voice of black culture.

SUMMARY:Bronzeville in Reel Time with South Side Home Movie Project
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with South Side Home Movie Project\, with support from the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelly Foundation and University of Chicago’s Arts and Public Life\, SSCAC is thrilled to host a special screening showcasing select cinema reels of Ramon Williams! Ramon Williams\, Black IBEW electrician and film hobbyist\, was an early adopter of amateur filmmaking and invested in documenting the Bronzeville community in which he lived — filming major Bronzeville social and civic events between the 1940s and 1960s. \nWe’re honored to show a selection of these films during Black History Month\, to highlight Ramon Williams’s commitment to documenting Black life on the South Side\, and the lasting legacy of Black cinema’s power to visualize Black life in real time. \nWe’ll be joined by SSHMP Assistant Director\, Saroop Singh (fka Justin Williams)\, Bronzeville Historical Society President Sherry Williams\, and PhD student in Cinema and Media Studies at UChicago\, Avery LaFlamme for a live dialogue about Ramon’s cinema work and legacy in the Bronzeville community. \nDonated to South Side Home Movie Project in 2020\, the Ramon Williams Collection encompasses 302 film reels\, their largest donation yet\, representing never-before-seen visual records of Bronzeville authored by one of its few citizens with a movie camera! What was Black social life like during that time? How did Black folks present and fashion themselves? What were significant events that took place in the Bronzeville community? We hope you’ll join us to find out! \nSSHMP presents a uniquely successful model for encouraging local residents to recognize the value of their personal archives\, to preserve original film prints in optimal conditions\, and to digitize home movies for public access\, creative projects and scholarly research. Their film vault currently houses over 600 film reels (8mm\, Super 8\, 16mm) from 33 South Side families. The Project offers a robust line-up of public programs that invite students\, neighbors\, artists and partner organizations to explore and activate the archive in imaginative new ways. \nThis program is generously supported by Arts and Public Life at the University of Chicago and the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelly Foundation

SUMMARY:"Unearth" at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:“Unearth” is on display now through March 10 at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art\, featuring three Chicago-based painters who find beauty and meaning in everyday urban scenes\, drawing back to the tradition of early 20th century painters. \n\nKaren Perl\, Emily Rapport and Gwendolyn Zabicki similarly capture the buildings\, streets\, neighborhoods and casual interactions that make up the backdrop of everyday\, urban life and reflect on how we live\, while echoing the Chicago community’s history. Each featured artist delves into perceived reality to unearth a moment or interaction that\, when painted\, reveals an intensely present experience.  Pieces including Perl’s “5400 N. Clark\,” Zabicki’s “Man Watching Baseball” and Rapaport’s “Damen Ave Nocturne.”\n\n\n\nEntry to the museum is free and visiting hours are 11am – 5p on Wednesdays – Sundays.

Rice highlights the contributions of various cultural institutions in Bronzeville. Local Chicago artists will be featured and present for the discussion. \nFilm description: he Bronzeville neighborhood in Chicago has been a creative hub that cultivated the artistry of some of the most influential artists and authors of the twentieth century. To name a few\, Margaret Burroughs\, Richard Wright\, William Walker\, Gwendolyn Brooks\, and members from AfriCOBRA have all established a creative foundation in Bronzeville. Nevertheless\, the significance of their contribution is not only the artwork they produced\, but also the aesthetic tradition that they established. This aesthetic tradition was founded to reframe the fraudulent historical narrative of African Americans. Today\, there are a number of artists who are following this aesthetic tradition. This documentary will introduce its audience to the cultural traditions that emerged from the Bronzeville community. This tradition challenged the status quo through activism\, visual arts\, literature\, and academic research.Tracing Our Path Through Bronzeville will highlight the contributions of various cultural institutions in Bronzeville\, and contemporary African American artists that attempted to redefine the image and voice of black culture. This documentary will generate a new perspective on the significance of the cultural legacy of African American art from the perspective of artists who have exhibited their paintings in the Bronzeville art galleries. \nBlack Table Talk: Visualizing Black Culture \nWednesday\, February 28th  \nBCC Gallery\, Addams Hall 207. 12 PM- 1 PM \nJoin our conversation!

Rice highlights the contributions of various cultural institutions in Bronzeville. Local Chicago artists will be featured and present for the discussion. \nFilm description: he Bronzeville neighborhood in Chicago has been a creative hub that cultivated the artistry of some of the most influential artists and authors of the twentieth century. To name a few\, Margaret Burroughs\, Richard Wright\, William Walker\, Gwendolyn Brooks\, and members from AfriCOBRA have all established a creative foundation in Bronzeville. Nevertheless\, the significance of their contribution is not only the artwork they produced\, but also the aesthetic tradition that they established. This aesthetic tradition was founded to reframe the fraudulent historical narrative of African Americans. Today\, there are a number of artists who are following this aesthetic tradition. This documentary will introduce its audience to the cultural traditions that emerged from the Bronzeville community. This tradition challenged the status quo through activism\, visual arts\, literature\, and academic research.Tracing Our Path Through Bronzeville will highlight the contributions of various cultural institutions in Bronzeville\, and contemporary African American artists that attempted to redefine the image and voice of black culture. This documentary will generate a new perspective on the significance of the cultural legacy of African American art from the perspective of artists who have exhibited their paintings in the Bronzeville art galleries. \nBlack Table Talk: Visualizing Black Culture \nWednesday\, February 28th  \nBCC Gallery\, Addams Hall 207. 12 PM- 1 PM \nJoin our conversation!
