SUMMARY:EMERGENCE: Intersections at The Center
DESCRIPTION:OPENING RECEPTION:   \nAPRIL 15\, 6-8PM   \n  \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. The exhibition features work addressing identity and community\, queer spaces and performance\, in collage\, painting\, sculpture\, photography\, and more. \n  \n \n\nRalph Arnold (1928–2006). Love Sign II. Mixed media\, 1995.  \nCollection of the South Side Community Art Center. \n\n  \nEMERGENCE emphasizes the middle decades of the twentieth century\, from the 1940s to the 1980s. For much of this time period\, sexual orientation was heavily policed\, both literally by the Chicago Police Department\, and in a variety of other ways through the imposition of norms by society and its institutions\, such as church\, family\, medical institutions\, and school. For this reason\, many of the artists in the exhibition\, especially in the early decades represented here\, were careful to exercise discretion in their life and work. Most did not publicly identify themselves as gay\, lesbian\, trans\, or bisexual. At the same time\, particularly in Bronzeville\, Chicago’s South Side Black community held spaces that were open to participants of differing sexual orientations and identities. Political movements on behalf of Gay Liberation were active throughout this period\, gaining strength in the 1970s and 80s.   \nEMERGENCE features work by Ralph Arnold\, Richmond Barthé\, Sylvester Britton\, William S. Carter\, Mikki Ferrill\, Jonathan Green\, Juarez Hawkins\, Berry Horton\, Patric McCoy\, Charles Sebree\, Allen Stringfellow\, and Ellis Wilson.\n\n\nCurated by LaMar Gayles Jr. & zakkiyyah najeebah dumas o’neal\n  \n \nJuarez Hawkins (1962–). Self-Portrait. Oil pastel and acrylic onmuseum board\, 1992. Collection of the artist. \n  \n\nEMERGENCE promo image courtesy: \nMikki Ferrill (1937–). Untitled (Portrait of Terry Readus). Gelatin silver print\, 1973. Collection of the South Side Community Art Center. Design by Aay Preston-Myint.  \n  \nEMERGENCE is supported by a major grant from the Re-envisioning Permanent Collections program of the Terra Foundation for American Art and by a partnership with Northwestern University’s Department of Art History.\n

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\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.\n  \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.\n  \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.\n\n  \nPlease read below on how to participate:\n  \nPortrait sessions will take place at SSCAC from 1pm – 4pm.\n\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.\n\nWe kindly ask that you select 1 time slot for yourself only\, so that we’re able honor each participant per session.\n  \nRSVP HERE\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.\n  \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.\n  \n
