SUMMARY:Guerrilla Television: The Revolutions of Early Independent Video Symposium
DESCRIPTION:When video cameras first became widely available in the late 1960s\, a global network of artists\, activists\, and documentarians quickly had the same realization: video is not merely a new format; video will change EVERYTHING about moving image media. Over the next decade-plus\, idealistic videomakers fought to overturn the top-down hierarchies of the film and TV industries to create a true “people’s television” that encouraged participation\, feedback\, and contributions from its audience. The proponents of Guerrilla Television threw out the rules of media\, filming ordinary people in their own communities\, and the revolution quickly spread. The result was a remarkably democratic movement\, one in which communities that rarely appeared on network television- women\, poor people\, people of color\, political radicals\, queer people – told their own stories. \nThis event is co-presented by Media Burn Archive\, University of Chicago\, and Video Data Bank.

SUMMARY:Drag History Movie Night
DESCRIPTION:Drag history movie night\, featuring a pop up exhibit and panel featuring Irregular Girl\, Kinley Preston\, James Hosking\, and James Conley. \nJoin us for a screening of two exquisite short documentaries taking us behind the scenes for frank\, tender glimpses into the lives\, loves\, and the artistry of drag performers. The recently re-discovered and preserved First Impressions (Pat Lehman\, 1977\, 25 min.) gives performers at a Denver drag club a platform to speak with candor and humor as they prepare for the evening’s performance\, a precious and rare document of drag and queer life in the 1970s. James Hosking’s acclaimed Beautiful by Night (2014\, 29 min.) is a loving portrait of three older drag performers at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district as they share their musings on art\, aging\, and self-acceptance. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion on the past and present of drag\, featuring drag performers Irregular Girl and Kinley Preston\, filmmaker James Hosking\, and curator and co-chair of Gerber/Hart Library & Archives\, James Conley. The event is a partnership between the Leather Archives & Museum\, Media Burn Archive\, and Gerber/Hart Library & Archives.

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.
