Tuesday May 24th 6:30-7:30pm with time for Q&A
Free and open to the public
Join us as Northwestern University Art History professor Rebecca Zorach brings her class, “Art and Activism,” to the EAC to discuss contemporary art and activism. We'll be hearing from 4 artists and activists about how they produce creative political actions and make protest visible in the Chicago area. Building on a term spent investigating the past 50 years of intersections of art practice with political activism, especially in the Chicago area, the conversation will address how art and politics cross-pollinate in some of the most pressing issues facing Chicago and the US more broadly. The EAC kindly thanks Rebecca Zorach and the Art History Department at Northwestern for reaching out and bringing one of its classes to our space. We all feel that it is meaningful for people to enter local community spaces and engage in dialogue with the public on important topics like this.
Artists and activist speakers include:
Page May, Assata's Daughters
ZEB, Chicago graffiti writer, educator, and performance artist
Nicolas Lampert, artist, writer, and activist
Sarah-Ji, photographer and social movement documentarian
