Open Television Premieres: New Black TV
@ Dorchester Art + Housing Collaborative
1456 E 70th St, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Friday, June 8th, from 7:30PM - 10:30PM
OTV | Open Television is a platform for intersectional pilots and series, supporting Chicago artists in producing and exhibiting independent work! OTV centers “artists that commercial television networks and art institutions do not develop consistently: artists who identify with multiple identities marginalized by the market and society. OTV experiments with alternative ways to develop, produce, and exhibit art and television. Our programs center artistic expression, intersectionality, Chicago, and digital networking.” The platform has partnered with City of Chicago, Museum of Contemporary Art and is behind the popular shows, Brown Girls & Brujos!
In partnership with Black Cinema House, we will be screening an array of works from local creatives including shorts and episodes from ongoing web-series’.
