ReSOURCE: Art and Resourcefulness in Black Chicago
Since the time of Jean Baptiste Point DuSable, Chicago’s Black culture has been defined by its creative ethos of resourcefulness. Thinking ecologically before there was an environmental movement, generations of Black artists have worked their alchemy to transform simple materials and castoff objects into beautiful art, breathe life into the city’s forgotten corners, and reinvent and reclaim ancestral traditions. The South Side Community Art Center’s ReSOURCE exhibition brings together 40 artists and 70 artworks (including 4 projects commissioned for the exhibition) in partnership with local community gardens and urban farms to tell this story.
Curated by
Bethany Hill and LaMar Gayles
This exhibition is supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art as part of Art Design Chicago (ADC).
Reception: Saturday, September 14, 12–3 PM
ReSOURCE: Art and Resourcefulness in Black Chicago is part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art that highlights the city’s artistic heritage and creative communities. ReSOURCE is funded by the Terra Foundation for American Art.
