Spinning Home Movies #20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell
Gallery hours – Monday, March 9 – Saturday, March 14, 2026, 1:00 – 5:00 pm

As part of its 20th Anniversary celebration, the South Side Home Movie Project presents Spinning Home Movies Episode 20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell, a week-long exhibition that showcases the materiality, architecture and temporality of home through archival films and architectural design. In the first ever Spinning Home Movies exhibition, Jason Campbell presents an original work that combines elements of his own artistic practice with SSHMP’s Ramon Williams Collection.

Artist and architect Jason Campbell transports The Linen Closet, originally exhibited as part of the Chicago Architectural Biennial, to the Arts Incubator gallery. An open cedar frame carries donated quilts and comforters, creating a monument to the ritual, improvisational practice of homemaking. In its new location, images sampled from the Ramon Williams Collection at the South Side Home Movie Project are projected onto The Linen Closet, expanding its material archive of home to include home movie recordings.

Ramon Williams was an IBEW electrician, entrepreneur, and amateur filmmaker who documented public life in and around his neighborhood of Bronzeville. His collection, donated to the South Side Home Movie Project in 2020, includes over 300 film reels captured between the 1940s and the 1960s. From parades, performances, sporting events and fashion shows, Williams’ films are rare glimpses into the vibrant civic life of the historic Black neighborhood.

Unlike many of the collections archived at the South Side Home Movie Project, Williams’ films primarily document public events occurring beyond the domestic confines of a family home. And yet, the collection of films retain the intimacy typically reserved for home movie recordings. To foreground this intimacy, Campbell collects still frames from Williams’ films that capture moments of direct eye contact between Williams’ camera and his subjects. Excised from their moving image context and assembled into photo albums, these stills become an archive of presence where Williams, his subjects and visitors to the gallery share a collective interior in the midst of Black public life.

The gaze collapses the divide between public documentation and private memory. Historically, Black presence in public space has been surveilled, regulated, or rendered hyper visible. When subjects look directly into Ramon Williams’ camera, the look is not passive, it reclaims the frame. The gaze signals: this is ours; we recognize who is filming; we belong here. By extracting only these moments, civic documentation is transformed into something that behaves like a family archive, where being seen is not extractive but relational. Spinning Home Movies Episode 20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell invites us to view projected images from within The Linen Closet, to explore the photo albums of stills, and to consider the “stilling” power of the gaze.
Spinning Home Movies Episode 20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell is presented with generous support from the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation.

Bloodfire, Baby Book Talk & Signing - Call and Response Books

Bloodfire, Baby Book Talk & Signing – Call and Response Books
Join us on Tuesday, March 10 at 7 PM as we welcome author Eirinie Carson to discuss her debut novel, Bloodfire, Baby—a haunting modern gothic exploration of motherhood! Eirinie will be in conversation with author and professor Dionne Irving.
About the Book:
Before the shadow appeared, Sofia thought mothering would be all sun-drenched light and white linen sheets, as seen advertised by the momfluencers of Instagram. In her gorgeous home anchored in a posh suburb, far removed from her origins, Sofia revels in her success.
Motherhood seems like the natural next step, but when her husband travels for a work trip, leaving Sofia all alone with their unnamed three-week-old baby, she can’t quite square how mothering falls solely in her lap. Nobody seems able or willing to help her: not her husband, not her best friend, and certainly not the zealot mother she cut off long ago.
Her postpartum reality is overtaken by an ominous figure. Sleep-deprivation collides with a darkness that creeps in and begins to spread, threatening to consume her entirely. As her grip on reality slips away, Sofia learns of an insidious haunting that has plagued the eldest daughters in her family for generations. With her baby’s safety on the line, Sofia realizes she must confront her murky history or risk losing more than just the veneer of perfection.
Eirinie Carson is a member of the Writers Grotto in San Francisco and a frequent contributor to Mother magazine. Her work has also appeared in LitHub, Notre Dame Review, Mortal Mag, Electric Literature, The Sonora Review, and others. Bloodfire, Baby is her first novel.

Miss Julie
August Strindberg’s Miss Julie is a confrontation of class, gender, and desire at the turn of the twentieth century that’s as relevant today as when it was first written.
Miss Julie wants to abandon her upper-class, aristocratic life and escape the expectations that trap her. Jean, her servant, wants to climb the social ladder and rise through the ranks of society. Over the course of a wine-soaked evening, the two jockey for position, using sex, status, and strategy to collide and combust.
Senior Artistic Producer Gabrielle Randle-Bent directs one of Strindberg’s most celebrated works, interrogating the limitations of politics and position and the tension between who we are and who we want to be.
