SUMMARY:Black Magic: A Tintype Photo Project with Adam Davis
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist Adam Davis brings his 1850’s tintype photo practice to the South Side Community Art Center! \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nOn June 3rd and June 4th\, South Side Community Art Center will host artist Adam Davis and his ‘Black Magic’ tintype photography project. Through this participatory photo activation\, Adam will offer free portrait sessions to members of the Chicago community. \nDavis will create 2 portraits per session – one for participants to take home and one for his own archive. Traveling to historically Black cities and communities nationwide\, Davis is in pursuit of creating 20\,000 tintype portraits of Black Americans with the goal of creating the largest contemporary archive of Black American portraits. \nThemes of Afrofuturism\, celebrating the Art of Magic\, and Queerness have become foundational to Davis’ process throughout the project. \nBlack historical art spaces\, such as SSCAC are critical to Davis’ intent to be in conversation with the legacy of Black artistic innovation\, community engagement\, and Black archival contributions to the culture. \nPlease read below on how to participate: \nPortrait sessions will take place at SSCAC from 1pm – 4pm. \nEach portrait session will take 20 – 30 minutes\, which includes a chemical development process. Due to the nature of this process\, RSVP time selections are required to participate. \nWe kindly ask that you select 1 time slot for yourself only\, so that we’re able honor each participant per session. \n\n\n\n\n  \nAdam Davis (b. 1994) is an American Visual Artist\, Educator\, and Arts Education Advocate born and raised in Brooklyn\, New York. Davis obsessively seeks to apply his passion for creativity\, communication\, and storytelling to assist in finding solutions to problems that hinder diverse and equitable cultural progression at the intersection of the Arts and Education within the Black community. With a degree in Education and 6 years in the classroom\, Davis’ work intends to document the lives of Black bodies in a way that educates\, empowers\, and returns the permission to dictate how they are photographed to the subject. Delving into personal narratives on religion\, queerness\, mental health\, and the greater understanding of the global African diaspora\, Davis creates images\, both moving and still\, from a place of curiosity. \nDavis is a resident at the 54 year old Black Owned and operated community arts organization St. Elmo Village in Los Angeles\, California. Here Davis developed his darkroom practice on campus in the facilities opened by founder Roderick Sykes. Davis’ second solo exhibition\, titled Black Magic\, was created at the Village and opened at the Byrd Museum in Los Angeles\, where his darkroom practice lies at the center of his practice of making tintype portraits. The exhibition monograph was successfully published soon after by Paper Chase Press and debuted at the New Art Dealers Alliance fair in Miami during Art Basel Week 2021. Davis’ work has been featured in the LA Times\, SKEW Magazine\, Umber Publications\, and AFAR among others.

SUMMARY:CEREMONIES: A Selection of Short Films by Marlon Riggs
DESCRIPTION:Post-discussion to follow led by Aymar Jean Christian & zakkiyyah najeebah dumas o’neal\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nA filmmaker unlike any other\, Marlon Riggs was an unapologetic gay Black man who defied a culture of silence and shame. Riggs used a bold mix of documentary\, performance\, poetry\, and music to confront the legacy of racist stereotypes and the impact of AIDS on the Black community. He died in 1995 of AIDS-related illness\, leaving behind a vital\, living body of work that wrestled with the very definition of what it means to be Black. \nCEREMONIES directly references poet Essex Hemphill’s groundbreaking anthology of short stories and poetry Ceremonies: Prose and Poetry\, which won the National Library Association’s Gay\, Lesbian\, and Bisexual New Author Award when it was published in 1992. The book’s poems and essays expand on many important social issues at the time\, such as the white objectification of Black men\, as epitomized by Robert Mapplethorpe’s The Black Book; AIDS in the Black community; and the complex dynamics gay Black men experience in both the white LGBTQ+ community and in Black culture – very much in alignment with Rigg’s exploration of these topics as it appears in his film works. In addition\, Essex Hemphill’s poetry was also featured in Marlon Riggs’ documentaries Tongues Untied (1989) and Black Is … Black Ain’t (1994). \nThis program features three of Riggs’ short films: Affirmations\, Anthem\, and Regrette Rien (No Regret). \nA post-discussion will be led by SSCAC Public Programs and Engagement Manager\, and co-curatort of EMERGENCE zakkiyyah najeebah dumas-o’neal and Aymar Jean Christian\, Associate Professor of Communication Studies at Northwestern University\, and co-founder of OTV | Open Television. \n  \n\n\nThis screening is presented in conjunction with EMERGENCE: Intersections at the Center\, currently on view until July 2\, 2022. \nEMERGENCE: Intersections at the Center spotlights The South Side Community Art Center’s historical role in supporting a full spectrum of Black artists through an intersectional viewpoint. The first exhibition of its kind at the South Side Community Art Center\, EMERGENCE positions the Center as an important anchor for Black LGBTQ artists who belonged to its community from its founding in 1940 to the 1980s and beyond. The exhibition features works addressing identity and community\, queer spaces and performance\, in collage\, painting\, sculpture\, photography\, and more. \n  \nThis program is generously supported by\, and in partnership with South Side Projections. \nFounded in 2011\, South Side Projections presents films at locations across Chicago’s south side to foster conversation about complex social and political issues. At many screenings\, we enlist scholars\, activists\, and filmmakers to lead discussions\, while other screenings offer opportunities to present seldom-seen films of historical and artistic value to the communities of Chicago’s south side.
