Art for People's Sake: Artists and Community in Black Chicago, 1965
Art/African American studies Art for People’s Sake for People’s Art REBECCA ZORACH In the 1960s and early 1970s, Chicago witnessed a remarkable flourishing Art for of visual arts associated with the Black Arts Movement. From the painting of murals as a way to reclaim public space and the establishment of inde- pendent community art centers to the work of the AFRICOBRA collective People’s Sake: and Black filmmakers, artists on Chicago’s South and West Sides built a vision of art as service to the people. In Art for People’s Sake Rebecca Zor- ach traces the little-told story of the visual arts of the Black Arts Movement Artists and in Chicago, showing how artistic innovations responded to decades of rac- ist urban planning that left Black neighborhoods sites of economic depres- sion, infrastructural decay, and violence. Working with community leaders, Community in children, activists, gang members, and everyday people, artists developed a way of using art to help empower and represent themselves. Showcas- REBECCA ZORACH Black Chicago, ing the depth and sophistication of the visual arts in Chicago at this time, Zorach demonstrates the crucial role of aesthetics and artistic practice in the mobilization of Black radical politics during the Black Power era. 1965–1975 “ Rebecca Zorach has written a breathtaking book. The confluence of the cultural and political production generated through the Black Arts Move- ment in Chicago is often overshadowed by the artistic largesse of the Amer- ican coasts. No longer. Zorach brings to life the gorgeous dialectic of the street and the artist forged in the crucible of Black Chicago. -

Folklife Today September 2019: Chicago Ethnic Arts Project
Folklife Today September 2019: Chicago Ethnic Arts Project Announcer: From the Library of Congress in Washington DC John Fenn: Welcome to the Folklife Today podcast. I’m John Fenn, and I’m here with my colleague Stephen Winick. Steve Winick: Hello! John Fenn: We’re both folklorists at the American Folklife Center here at the Library of Congress. I’m the head of Research and Programs, and Steve is the Center’s writer and editor, as well as the creator of the Folklife Today blog. Steve Winick: And today, we’re joined by several guests from the AFC to talk about an online collection of ours, the Chicago Ethnic Arts Project collection. This was the first of AFC's historic field projects, and the collection was digitized and then made available on the Library of Congress’s website just about two years ago. And a lot has been going on with it since, so, we've asked some of our colleagues to help us talk about it. Our first guest is our coordinator of Processing, Ann Hoog. Hi Ann! Ann Hoog: Hello! John Fenn: Ann, you know the collection quite well since you were involved in getting it ready for public online access. Where do we start? Ann Hoog: Well, let me first say that I do know it fairly well, but it is such an immense resource that I am still learning new things about it! But a good place to start is with the type of collection that it is – meaning, how it came to be. As you can tell by its name, the Chicago Ethnic Arts Project collection, represents materials from a cultural research and documentation project, or survey, that was undertaken in 1977.
