SUMMARY:Film screening: "SOUTHEAST: a city within a city"
DESCRIPTION:A screening of the film “SOUTHEAST: a city within a city” followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Steven J. Walsh and artist Roman Villarreal. \nThe Southeast side of Chicago is an often overlooked and stigmatized neighborhood\, blocked by an overcast of misguided interpretation. In the documentary SOUTHEAST: a city within a city\, filmmaker Steven J. Walsh strives to shed light on this neighborhood’s near-mythic tale. \nThis community once produced more steel than any other place in the world. It had neighborhoods full of life and culture—many different cultures—but that all ended once the steel mills left. The film brings together builders\, soldiers\, scholars\, gangsters\, musicians and politicians from the Southeast side’s past and present to help explain what happened after the area’s deindustrialization. This film is more than just history; it is a hands-on exploration of what it felt like to live in the neighborhood. See how the streets were then and how they’ve evolved to what they are now. \nThe film screening will take place in the performance space at Intuit and feature a musical performance by Walsh’s grandfather Roger “Coco” Gomez\, whom the film centers on. The program will conclude with a Q&A with filmmaker Steven J. Walsh\, Roger “Coco” Gomez and artist Roman Villarreal\, who is featured in the documentary. \nPlease contact Courtney Thompson at courtney@art.org with questions related to accessibility accommodations. \nThe film screening is free! To show your support to Intuit\, please consider the pay-what-you-can option when you complete your reservation. Your contributions help ensure the sustainability of our public programs and support guest lecturers and teaching artists.

SUMMARY:Film screening: "Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts"
DESCRIPTION:Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts is a feature documentary film exploring the life of a unique American artist\, a man with a remarkable and unlikely biography. Bill Traylor was born into slavery in 1853 on a cotton plantation in rural Alabama. After the Civil War\, Traylor continued to farm the land until the 1920s. Aging and alone\, he moved to Montgomery and worked odd jobs in the thriving segregated Black neighborhood. A decade later\, in his late 80s\, Traylor became homeless and started to draw and paint\, both memories from plantation days and scenes of a radically changing urban culture. Traylor devised his own visual language to record the stories of his life\, translating an oral culture into something original\, powerful and culturally rooted. He made well over 1\,000 drawings and paintings between 1939–1942. \nTraylor witnessed profound social and political change during his life spanning slavery\, Reconstruction\, Jim Crow laws and the Great Migration. The transcendent surprise is while Traylor kept to himself\, leading an unassuming life\, he was nurturing a remarkable creative gift that would not be expressed for decades. \nUsing historical and cultural context\, Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts brings the spirit and mystery of Traylor’s incomparable art to life. Making dramatic and surprising use of tap dance and evocative period music and spoken word\, the film balances archival photographs and footage\, insightful perspectives from Traylor family members\, and Traylor’s striking drawings and paintings to reveal one of America’s most prominent artists to a wide audience. \nThe film screening will take place in the performance space at Intuit and conclude with a Q&A with Jeffrey Wolf\, director of Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts; Juelle Daley\, Assistant Director of University Arts Engagement at the University of Chicago; and Lisa Stone\, independent curator and consultant. The panel will be moderated by Payton Head\, DEI strategist and member of the museum’s Young Professionals Board. \nPlease contact Courtney Thompson at courtney@art.org with questions related to accessibility accommodations. \nPlease check your junk folder for event reminders. Unfortunately\, these emails are sent there sometimes. \n\n\n\n\nAll film screening attendees must follow the museum’s health and safety procedures. Intuit is closely monitoring COVID-19 guidelines established by local\, state and federal authorities and will promptly share information that affects the event. \n\n\n\n\nThis program is funded in part by the Alphawood Foundation\, the Department of Cultural Affairs\, Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation\, Illinois Arts Council Agency\, Illinois Humanities\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Prince Charitable Trust\, Terra Foundation for American Art\, and individual donations from Intuit members and supporters. \n\n\n\n\nImage: Photograph by Horace Perry courtesy Alabama State Council on the Arts \n\n\n\n\nBILL TRAYLOR: CHASING GHOSTS (2018)\, 75 min \nWatch the trailer \nDirected by Jeffrey Wolf / Produced by Sam Pollard\, Jeffrey Wolf\, Daphne McWilliams\, Jeany Nisenholz-Wolf and Fred Barron
