SUMMARY:Adler and Adler\, Works by Eli Greene
DESCRIPTION:South Side Community Art Center X Independent Curators International Present Adler and Adler\, Works by Eli Greene\nJUNE 8-AUGUST 31 | Opening June 8\, 2024 \nWORKS BY ELI GREENE \nCURATED BY AMBER NAX \nThe South Side Community Art Center\, in partnership with ICI\, presents “Adler & Adler\,” a poignant response by Chicago-based artist Eli Greene to the Adler & Adler Studio Collection. This Black-owned photography studio archive was once a monument in the Black Bottom neighborhood of Detroit. Founded circa 1910 by Charles and Mamie L. Adler\, the studio was one of Detroit’s earliest Black photographic businesses. Adler & Adler Studio was where people celebrated and immortalized the joys of everyday life: graduations\, weddings\, and the arrival of new family members. This site and Black photography studios across the country were beacons of empowerment\, offering Black communities new agency in self-representation. \nWhen the Adlers passed away in 1973\, they left no heirs\, and the studio\, along with its collection of photographs\, was left behind. Some of these photographs were later discovered and sold to The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History\, where they now reside as a testament to the studio’s enduring impact. \nAlongside the Adler & Adler images are (10) contemporary photographs of the site\, a drawing inspired by the studio backdrops in the original photos\, and a sound/video work. The work is invested in themes of memory\, trace\, and ghosts. \nGreene’s work reflects on the photography studio as a site of moments and memories enacted by those who ask for their picture to be made and those who make it. The interplay of these two research modalities provides us with new ways to think about how we engage with archives and memories and\, ultimately\, how to breathe new life into them.

SUMMARY:Bending Light | Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Bending Light transcends the conventional use of colors within painting and delves into a realm where colors cease to merely reflect what our eyes perceive\, but rather echo the sentiments of our hearts. Expressed in the works of six dynamic painters\, colors cease to be passive elements; they become an emotional call and response\, engaging beyond the confines of the canvas. Positive and negative spaces react differently\, to create a vibrant dialogue that transcends\, pushing all color theories to the edge. Through a meticulous play of colors\, improvisation\, storytelling\, and thoughtful composition\, each work\, regardless of style\, serves as a conduit for emotions and thoughts\, encouraging viewers to delve deeper into their own introspection.   \nEchoing curator and artist Paul Branton\, What does it truly mean to be colored in America? This question approaches theories of color\, in relation to identity and the rich pigments found in nature; they serve as the palette for this artistic inquiry and the profound implications of this label. The artists explore its impact on Black identity\, potential\, and the intricate interplay between societal perceptions and individual existence.\nBeyond their aesthetic appeal\, the works are a celebration of the language of color\, offering a poignant exploration of the unique challenges\, triumphs\, and complexities of Black life. Bending Light invites you to experience color not just as a visual spectacle but as a powerful conduit for reflection and dialogue.\nFeatured artists include Edo (Eddie Santana)\, Bryant Lamont\, Courtney Collins\, Pearlie Taylor\, Robert Lewis Clark\, and Paul Branton.

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:BLACK SPACE: Architectural Historiographies & Spatial Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Artists and spacial griots Andres L. Hernandez\, Tonika Lewis Johnson and Roland Knowlden invite you to consider how socio-economic and geographic oppressions impact the way we see (or don’t see) our environments\, in a conversation with SSCAC Exhibitions Manager and Curator Lola Ayisha Ogbara.  \nHernandez uncovers embedded histories and systems of power within built and speculative landscapes to imagine these spaces otherwise. Social justice artist Lewis Johnson advocates for urban communities by documenting the disparities among Chicago residents who live on opposite ends of the same streets across the city’s racial and economic divides. Knowlden critically deconstructs the elements of our urban fabric and its architectural histories to reassemble them as cartographic abstractions and imagined landscapes. Gwendolyn Brooks\, a brilliant author\, poet\, and life-long resident of the historic neighborhood of Bronzeville\, becomes the Mecca of these stories as this exhibition interrogates dilapidation\, buried histories\, and what it could mean to be Black in space. \nThemes in the exhibition reference and/or explore the following: Urban planning\, socio-economics\, equity\, Mecca Flats\, Psycho-geography: The impact that our physical space has on us\, segregation\, Gwendolyn Brooks\, June Jordan\, Chicago architecture\, poetics of black spaces/environments\, artists David Hammons and Jack Whitten. \nThis exhibition was organized and curated by SSCAC Exhibitions Manager Lola Ayisha Ogbara. \n*Complimentary coffee and cake will be provided during the program.

SUMMARY:A Promised Land On The Horizon: Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Our current exhibition ‘The Promised Land’\, features eleven contemporary photo and image artists working across a diverse range of visual methods\, that re-imagine stories of city life and the Great Migration through the decolonization of the lens\, Southern rooted influences\, movement\, family archives and portraiture. \nThe Great Migration was one of the largest movements of people in United States history. It has transformed cities like Chicago\, Detroit\, New York and Pittsburgh between 1916 and 1970. Chicago received more than 500\,000 Black Southern Americans during this time. To Southern Blacks\, Chicago was considered the “Promised Land”. Stories of big city life\, jobs with good wages\, homes with running water\, and basic freedoms denied to Blacks in the South made the Northern city a prime destination for Blacks coming from below the Mason-Dixon line. As the most documented migration in US history\, photographers like Gordon Parks\, Florestine Perrault Collins\, Moneta Sleet Jr.\, Roy DeCarava\, and Coreen Simpson created imagery that demonstrated Black life in movement. With familial ties to North and South of the Mason-Dixon Line\, this stellar group of contemporary artists respond to the many migrations of African Diaspora peoples and the influences of these movements in their work. \nThis exhibition was organized and curated by SSCAC Exhibitions Manager Lola Ayisha Ogbara\, and features the following artists: Lawrence Ageyi\, Anwulika Anigbo\, Rose Blouin\, Billie Carter-Rankin\, Jen Everett\, Mandela Hudson\, Shabez Jamal\, Sulyiman Stokes\, Darryl DeAngelo Terrell\, Loren Toney\, and Derrick Woods-Morrow.  \nComplimentary coffee and cake will be provided during the program.

SUMMARY:Black Family Portraits with Seed Lynn
DESCRIPTION:For this Black History Month\, we’re thrilled to partner with photographer Seen Lynn to offer free family portrait to our community! \n\n\nThe Black family portrait\, throughout history to the present\, has always been an accessible\, but vivid practice of self-representation that offers a more genuine and realistic portrayal of Black identity and dignity. Whether being made candidly within the family\, or posing for a staged portrait\, Black family portraits continue to reveal the inherent beauty\, resilience\, diversity\, and style of our people and culture. \nLearn more about our guest photographer below:

Where she’ll cover all things branding\, marketing\, and art directing strategies for artists and creative entrepreneurs! \n\n\n\n\n\nAmanda Christine Harth is a teaching artist\, researcher\, and entrepreneur. She explores the origin stories of fashion’s subcultures and her findings are presented through exhibitions\, discussions\, and interactive workshops. She was born and raised on the Southside of Chicago in the West Pullman neighborhood. She studied fashion at the Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago and owned a clothing company that evolved into a resource for independent designers. \n“Connecting with people over the language of style and how others connect through garments has been a driving force behind my practice. My work is a constant study on the history of textiles and garments in underserved communities impacting change on a global economy. As my craft evolved I became more focused on the individuals in the garments and their stories. I want to create opportunities for people to connect and share their experiences with clothing.” \n\n\n\n\nWe’re excited to have Amanda and her expertise help guide you in the realm of marketing and branding\, for an afternoon of connecting and learning. \nVery limited spots are available. Stay tuned for our final workshop in January!

SUMMARY:9 Artists/ 9 Months/ 9 Perspectives features work by the collective\, Dandelion Black Women Artists
DESCRIPTION:Nine Black women artists engaged in collaborative efforts to create artworks that transcend and transform events in the year 2020. In their eyes\, art-making became a transgressive act through activism\, documentation and vision. Utilizing book-making\, craft-making and works on paper\, 9 Artists/9 Months/ 9 Perspectives presents a birth of vision under hardship felt worldwide\, collectively allowing us to reckon with our own perspectives\, reflections and welfare.\n  \nThis exhibition presents the conception\, gestation\, and birth of a collaborative artists’ books created by nine Black women artists of the collective\, Dandelion Black Women Artists. Their responses\, perspectives\, and reflections were inspired by the continuous struggle for health\, social\, and economic welfare of marginalized people during COVID-19\, the lack of response from the federal government\, and the political allyship of socio-political grassroots movements like Black Lives Matter. Craft-making became a transgressive act through artivism\, perspective\, and vision.
