SUMMARY:G to G Coaching Session: How To Balance Creative Work & Multiple Projects
DESCRIPTION:The second development resource workshop in our series artist development partnership with ILA Creative Studio!\n  \n \n  \nSSCAC is thrilled to partner with ILA Creative Studio for their G-to-G Coaching Sessions in a 3-part series of artist development resource workshops that intend to help close the gap of limited\, sustainable business resources\, specific to the needs of Black artists.\n  \nILA Creative Studio’s G-to-G Coaching Sessions are an opportunity for professional practicing artists (18+) to have space to learn and grow in their respective fields – led by a mentor or coach that provides specific insights on a specific topic. These sessions help to translate effective ways for Black artists to achieve sustainability in their fields.\n  \nSo much of our time as practicing artists goes into actually creating our wonderful art\, but we MUST create time where we learn about the necessary business etiquette. Each session will be led by coaches and teaching artists who will provide insight on a specific topic\, with the intention of assisting Black artists to work toward achieving sustainability in their field.\n  \n\n\nSecond up\, “How To Balance Creative Work & Multiple Projects”\, led by Adia Sykes and Tiffany Johnson! Where they’ll cover all things project management\, artist development strategies\, and self-care advocacy within the arts.\n\n\n  \n \n\n\nAdia Sykes is an arts organizer and curator based in Chicago. Her practice seeks to center philosophies of improvisation\, intuition\, and care\, engaging them as tools through which meaningful relationships between artists and viewers can be cultivated\, while leaving space for the vernacular to mingle with constructs of history and theory.\n  \nAs an administrator advocating for racial equity and sustainable ecosystems for creative practitioners\, she has held roles with organizations like the Chicago Artists Coalition\, where she started their SPARK Grant— a joint effort with the Joyce Foundation providing unrestricted grants to artists of color\, not formally trained artists\, and artists with disabilities. At present\, Adia is Co-Director of Programs at Threewalls which is an arts organization that fosters contemporary art practices that respond to lived experiences\, encouraging connections beyond art. She is also a Lead Organizer of the Chicago Art Census\, a city-wide research project that collects\, maps\, and visualizes data that illuminates the lived experiences and working conditions of art workers in Chicago.\n  \nHer curatorial projects include Locating Memory (Chicago Mayor’s Office\, 2018)\, Project Radio London (Centro Arte Opificio Siri in Terni\, Italy\, 2018)\, and The Petty Biennial.2 (Chicago\, 2019-2020). She has also realized projects with the Art Institute of Chicago\, Sullivan Galleries\, Woman Made Gallery\, ACRE\, Material Exhibitions\, Roman Susan Gallery\, and Comfort Station. She also currently serves as Board Chair for Chicago Dancemakers Forum.\n  \nAdia earned a Masters in Arts Administration and Policy from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BA in Anthropology from the University of Chicago.\n  \n\n\n\n \nA Southsider\, born and bred\, Tiffany M Johnson is interested in spaces (and a world) where Black people can exhale. A queer Black woman\, she is a researcher\, survivor advocate\, and cultural worker passionate about community building through imaginative\, underground\, and cooperative practices.\nTiffany attended SOAS\, University of London\, for her Master’s in Migration and Diasporas Studies. Currently pursuing a DIY Ph.D.\, her research focuses on otherworld-making community practices through ancestral technologies\, creative expressions\, and ecological relations.\n  \nShe is ACRE Residency’s Programs Director\, which supports emerging artists develop\, discuss and present their artistic practices. Under this role\, she also manages the Chicago Art Census – a comprehensive\, cross-discipline data collection effort created by and with the art workers of Chicago. In addition\, as the Consultant Curator with the Chicago Park District\, Arts & Culture Unit (ACU)\, she co-designed and led the development of the public curatorial residency program\, Anchor Residency.\n  \nShe is a member of the Cooperation for Liberation\, an open study and working group focused on cooperative histories in Black communities and is co-stewarding the development of the survivor support mutual aid group\, Project Nebula.\n  \n  \n\n\n\nSnacks and sponsored coffee will be provided by Sip & Savor!\n

SUMMARY:MLK DAY: VISION BOARDS FOR NEW FUTURES
DESCRIPTION:Honoring the future MLK dreamed of\, while also bringing in our own visions for the futures we want to create!\n  \n \n  \nJoin us for an afternoon of vision boarding\, as we honor the radical dreaming of Martin Luther King Jr.\n  \nMLk believed in the dreams of revolution\, and creating a society based on equality and justice. As we honor the radical future MLK dreamed of\, we invite you to visualize your own visions for the futures we want to create.\n  \n“..We must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future. When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair\, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights\, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil\, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterday’s into bright tomorrows. Let us realize that the arc of the moral universe is long\, but it bends toward justice.”\n  \n– MLK\, “Where Do We Go From Here?\,” delivered at the 11th Annual SCLC Convention\, Atlanta\, Georgia\, August 16\, 1967.\n\n  \n“Without new visions\, we don’t know what to build\, only what to knock down. We not only end up confused\, rudderless\, and cynical\, but we forget that making a revolution is not a series of clever maneuvers and tactics\, but a process that can and must transform us.”\n  \n– Robin D.G. Kelley\, Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination\n  \n  \n \nImage Courtesy: Associated Press.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nWhat is a vision board?\nA visual representation of your goals or a collective goal! These poster-sized visuals typically contain all kinds of images\, colors\, and text that represent something you’re trying to accomplish. There are really no rules when it comes to vision boards\, since it’s about creating something that will inspire you to realize your dreams and goals on a daily basis.\n\nSome vision boards focus on a singular idea\, while others look at the bigger picture of what you might want the future to look like.\n\nWhat does an equitable future look like? What do you dream of for yourself\, and for your community? What does freedom look like and feel like?\nThese are just a few questions that we’re considering\, and hope you’ll join us in visualizing new futures together!\n\nWe’ll provide the materials\, but encourage you to bring any old magazines\, newspapers\, or paper materials you have lying around your home!

SUMMARY:The Promised Land: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Eleven artists with ties to North and South of the Mason-Dixon Line respond to just how much Black life has always been in transit. \n  \n \n  \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.\n  \nTo 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.\n\nToday\, contemporary artists and image makers respond to the many migrations of African Diaspora peoples and the influences of these movements in their work.\n  \n \nDerrick Woods-Morrow. Non-traditional Acts of Divination: Impression. Photograph. 18 in. x 24 in. 2019.\n  \nFeatured Artists:\n  \nLawrence Agyei\nAnwulika Anigbo\nRose Blouin\nBillie Carter-Rankin\nJen Everett\nMandela Hudson\nShabez Jamal\nSulyiman Stokes\nDarryl Terrell\nLoren Toney\nDerrick Woods-Morrow\n  \n \nDarryl DeAngelo Terrell. 279º W 42º21’39” N 83º2’20″W Detroit\, MI. Archival inkjet print. 24 in. x 36 in. 2021\n  \n  \nJoin us for an opening reception as we celebrate a diverse breath of photo and image works from some of the most promising artists exploring the possibilities and realities of Black life in image-making and photography.\n\nImage courtesy (above).
