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

AND COMEDIANS MAX THOMAS & ARLIETA HALL!\n  \n1:30 – 4PM \n  \n \n  \nDuane Powell’s love for music started an early age growing up in the 1970’s being exposed to Chicago’s rich soul music scene. He has spun at and has had residencies at many of the most popular venues around Chicago including the House Of Blues\, Virgin Hotel\, The Promontory and Reggie’s Music Club. In addition\, he has opened for many heavyweights in soul music including opening for Frankie Beverly & Maze at The Taste Of Chicago and has shared the bill with many legendary DJ’s and Grammy-winning producers in the dance music world including Joe Claussell\, DJ Spinna\, Steve “Silk” Hurley\, Maurice Joshua\, Josh Milan\, Timmy Regisford\, Ron Trent and more.\n\nAs a promoter\, he launched the SOUNDROTATION brand in 1999\, further cultivating the underground soul scene in Chicago giving many of those acts their performance debuts in the market.\n  \n  \n \n  \nResita Cox’s films are a poetic portrayal of her community’s irrepressible spirit and resilience in the face of racism. Her documentary film work is people based\, meaning it not only features unique\, personal stories\, but it also prioritizes relationships and is constantly working to reimagine an equitable filmmaking model. Born and raised in the South\, her films center Southern\, Black communities and use them as a lens to examine topics ranging from environmental justice to racial justice – all themes she also explores through her poetry and performance.\nWith a degree in journalism from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, Resita started her career as a storyteller in TV news as a reporter in North Carolina and later in Chicago. Resita has worked with Kartemquin Films as the Impact Producer on their Emmy-nominated docu-series produced with The Marshall Project\, We Are Witnesses.\n\nShe is the director of Freedom Hill\, a documentary about the environmental racism that is washing away the first town chartered by Black people in the nation\, with which she was named a 2021 Hulu/Kartemquin Accelerator Fellow. She holds an MFA from Northwestern University in Documentary Film and is a 2021 Sister’s in Cinema Documentary Fellow. Resita was also recently named a North Star fellow with esteemed documentary organization\, Points North Institute.\n  \n\n\n\n\nMax Thomas was raised on the Southside of Chicago. He grew up on Jimi Hendrix\, Bernie Mac\, & Soy Milk. Max has been featured at Zanies\, The Comedy Store\, The NBC Break Out Comedy Festival 2017-2019\, Jokes and Notes\, The Second City Chicago & Hollywood\, Laugh Factory\, Steppenwolf Theater\, Black & Funny Festival\, Chicago Shakespeare Theater\, Detroit Improv Festival\, Boston Improv Festival\, Out of Bounds Festival Austin\, TX\, The Hideout Chicago & Boston\, The Revival Theater\, Keenan Thompson: The Ultimate Comedy Experience and Lollapalooza Music Festival.\n\nHis acting credits include Chicago P.D. (NBC)\, Broke Down Drone (Film)\, Hot Date (Netflix)\, Studio B (Web Series)\, Code-Switched (Web Series) and Othello (CST). His performance training is from The Second City Chicago\, The School at Steppenwolf & The British American Drama Academy(BADA).\n  \n  \n\n \nArlieta Hall is a host\, actress\, improviser\, stand up comedian\, and first time filmmaker from Chicago. She is a 2021 Second City NBC Bob Curry Fellow who recently co-starred as Sadie on Showtimes’ The CHI episodic.\n  \nArlieta is also a caregiver for her father who is a person with Alzheimer’s and takes the power of “Yes\, and…” to communicate with him and using their story to make her first film “Finding Your Laughter” Catch Arlieta Hall while you can performing all around the city\, zoom\, and get a sneak peek of her upcoming documentary\n  \n \n\nI am most interested in the intersections of masculinity\, familial relations\, and the artistic and intellectual pursuits of black culture\, particular as this culture intersects with and informs the larger culture. Through photography\, video\, and dance/performance\, I seek to investigate and question the norms and customs that govern our understanding of each other\, our families\, and the myriad of societal struggles and triumphs. I studied fashion\, house music and dance club culture before receiving a MFA in Photography at Columbia College Chicago\, where I currently serve as an adjunct professor and a teaching artist at the Center for Community Arts Partnership at Columbia College Chicago.\n  \nMy work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally\, with works in the permanent collection of The Cleveland Museum of Art\, Chicago Bank of America LaSalle Collection\, and Museum of Contemporary Photography. I was awarded the: Joyce Foundation Midwest Voices & Visions Award\, the Artadia Award\, The Swiss Benevolent Society\, Lucerne\, Switzerland Residency and the 3Arts Teaching Artist Award. I participated in Light Work’s Artist-in-Residence program in July 2013. In 2016 the first edition of my monograph In The Company of Black was published and was shortlisted by the Aperture Foundation for the 2017 First PhotoBook Award.\n\nCecil is currently a SSCAC Artist Catalyst as part of the Public Art & Civic Engagement(PACE) Capacity Building Initiative grant from the Mural Arts Institute\, a program of Mural Arts Philadelphia.
