SUMMARY:Praise and Protest Exhibition Tour
DESCRIPTION:Praise and Protest Exhibition Tour \nFrom the 1930s through the 1950s\, Chicago served as a powerful crucible of Black creativity\, intellect\, and political imagination. The extraordinary artists\, scholars\, and activists cultivated during this era\, known as the Chicago Black Renaissance\, reshaped American culture\, boldly affirming Black identity and excellence while laying the foundation for future vanguards like the Black Arts Movement. \nTold through the rare archival records preserved in the Vivian G. Harsh Research Collection\, Praise and Protest: Voices of the Chicago Black Renaissance invites you to explore this transformative cultural movement in an interactive gallery tour. The exhibition shines a light on a distinguished yet understudied history whose seminal literary\, scholarly\, and artistic explorations of Black life remain a vital beacon\, guiding us to confront the systemic injustices that echo still today. \nLunch will be provided from 1:00pm – 2:00pm.  \nPart of Court Theatre’s Spotlight Reading Series. Artwork by Brandon Breaux.

SUMMARY:The Chicago Critics Circles: Part I (Black Authorship)
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Critics Circles: Part I (Black Authorship) \nChicago Critics Circles position criticism as a vital cultural practice—one that not only reflects Black progress\, but actively participates in shaping it. As the final gathering of Court Theatre’s Spotlight Reading Series\, this program offers a space to pause\, reflect\, and collectively ask:  What does it mean to inherit\, interpret\, and carry forward a century of Black cultural life? \nThis conversation centers Black publications as sites of cultural production\, political imagination\, and narrative control. Featuring a crucial network of local critics\, writers\, and cultural workers dedicated to archiving\, amplifying\, and shaping the documentation and interpretation of Black life\, this discussion examines the role of self-determination and narrative sovereignty in A Century of Black Progress. \nArtwork by Brandon Breaux.

SUMMARY:The Chicago Critics Circles: Part II (Claiming Space)
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Critics Circles: Part II (Claiming Space) \nThe Chicago Critics Circles position criticism as a vital cultural practice—one that not only reflects Black progress\, but actively participates in shaping it. As the final gathering of Court Theatre’s Spotlight Reading Series\, this program offers a space to pause\, reflect\, and collectively ask: What does it mean to inherit\, interpret\, and carry forward a century of Black cultural life? \nthis conversation offers a deep\, multi-layered exploration of the important role that both physical and social spaces play in the cultivation\, preservation\, and evolution of Black cultural life. Join us as we critically consider the lifecycle of these environments\, how space is intentionally created out of necessity\, fiercely held against the pressures of displacement and gentrification\, tragically lost to systemic disinvestment\, imaginatively reclaimed by new generations\, and an essential pillar of cultural survival. \nArtwork by Brandon Breaux.
