SUMMARY:9 Artists/ 9 Months/ 9 Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:9 Artists/ 9 Months/ 9 Perspectives features work by the collective\, Dandelion Black Women Artists.\n  \nOPENING RECEPTION RSVP HERE\n  \nNine 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.\n\n  \n \n  \nTheir work embraces Black feminism as theorized by artist/art historians such as Freida High Wasikhongo Tsesfagiorgis\, in which art created by Black women artists depict the Black woman as: 1) subject rather than an object; 2) the exclusive or primary subject; 3) active rather than passive; 4) sensitive to the self-recorded realities of Black women; 5) imbued with the aesthetics of the African continuum—sustaining a personal vision that embraces Afrocentric tastes in color\, texture\, and rhythm. \n\n\nExhibiting artists include: \nAdjoa J. Burrowes\, Julee Dickerson-Thompson\, Aziza Claudia Gibson-Hunter\, Michele Godwin\, Francine Haskins\, Pamela Harris Lawton\, Gloria Patton\, Gail Shaw-Clemons\, and Kamala Subramanian.\n\n\n9 Artists/ 9 Months/ 9 Perspectives will be on view from October 8 – December 17\, 2022.

SUMMARY:REWIND & PLAY | SSCAC x Black Harvest Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:SSCAC and Black Harvest Film Festival\, in partnership with the Gene Siskel Film Center invite you to a complimentary afternoon screening of REWIND & PLAY! \n  \n \n  \n \nImage courtesy of REWIND & PLAY. 2022\, Alain Gomis\, USA\, 65 mins\n  \n\n\nIn 1969\, famed jazz pianist Thelonious Monk performed at the 3\,000-seat Salle Pleyel concert hall in Paris. Before the concert\, he recorded an episode of the French television show “Jazz Portrait\,” hosted by pianist Henri Renaud.\n  \nIn this daring work of non-fiction filmmaking\, director Alain Gomis examines not the interview\, but the raw archival footage – the moments not seen by the television audience – where it becomes painfully clear that the host and producer are only interested in the musician if he plays voiceless and silently\, without speaking about his experiences as a Black artist during a time of social and political unrest. Despite the oppression\, Monk plays on – his music\, now in the context of REWIND & PLAY\, all the more exceptional.\n  \nREWIND & PLAY will be preceded by SHUT UP AND PAINT.\n  \n \n\n\nImage courtesy of SHUT UP AND PAINT. 2022\, Alex Mallis\, Titus Kaphar\, USA\, 21 mins\n\n\n  \n  \nIn SHUT UP AND PAINT\, contemporary painter Titus Kaphar uses film as a medium to explore\, challenge\, and examine the ways in which the art market seeks to silence his activism.\n\n\n  \nThe 28th Black Harvest Film Festival – Chicago’s annual showcase for films that celebrate\, explore\, and share the Black\, African American and African Diaspora experience – will be held November 4 through 20 in person and November 21 through 27 online! Festival passes and tickets for our full lineup of feature films\, short film programs\, and special events are now on sale!\n  \nComplimentary popcorn from Chicago-based and Black owned popcorn company Herby Pop will be available for attendees.\n  \nRSVP is required\, and limited tickets are available\, so we hope to see you there!
