SUMMARY:Spinning Home Movies #20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell | Gallery Hours
DESCRIPTION:Spinning Home Movies #20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell | Gallery Hours \nSpinning Home Movies #20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell\nGallery hours – Monday\, March 9 – Saturday\, March 14\, 2026\, 1:00 – 5:00 pm\n\nAs 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. \n\nArtist 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. \n\nRamon 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. \n\nUnlike 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.

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. \nSpinning Home Movies Episode 20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell is presented with generous support from the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation.

SUMMARY:Rear View Mirror Sessions: Stevie Wonder
DESCRIPTION:Rear View Mirror Sessions: Stevie Wonder\nArts + Public Life\, in partnership with the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts\,  Soundrotation\, Brain Trust Management\, and the UChicago Department of Race\, Diaspora and Indigeneity\, presents a new installment of Rear View Mirror Sessions. \nSince 2017\, the Quintessential Listening and Lecture Series led by music historian and DJ Duane Powell has taken audiences on a journey through the lives of musical legends and heroes\, from The Isley Brothers\, Gladys Knight and Nina Simone\, to Chaka Khan\, Sly and the Family Stone\, and Rick James. Each session features a special guest musical performer drawn from Chicago’s own rich talent and audience participation is always encouraged. \nThe series continues with a celebration of Stevie Wonder\, in conjunction with the UChicago course\, Wonder Lab: Learning from the Musical Art and Craft of Stevie Wonder\, taught by Prof. Adam Green. One of the defining artists of the recent U.S. and the world\, Stevie Wonder is a celebrated and beloved musician\, a spiritual visionary\, polymath of genres\, prophetic truth-teller\, and bard of love and loss. His vision refracts the victories\, losses and contradictions of Black struggle and endeavor in America. \nFollowing Powell’s presentation\, Prof. Green will join him on stage to continue the conversation about Stevie Wonder’s art\, life and ambition as a sonic innovator. \nAfter the session\, we’ll be treated to a special tribute performance by Tony Cazeau’s NEW BLACK RENAISSANCE Band featuring Maurice Mahon.

SUMMARY:First\, Breathe Healing Arts Series
DESCRIPTION:First\, Breathe Healing Arts Series \nFirst\, Breathe: Healing Arts Series is a movement and arts-based program rooted in creativity\, community care\, and embodied storytelling. \nFirst\, Breathe: Healing Arts Series is a movement and arts-based program rooted in creativity\, community care\, and embodied storytelling. Hosted by Arts + Public Life and led by certified yoga instructor Rhya Moffitt\, the project combines culturally grounded bodywork with artmaking practices including poetry\, movement\, collage\, and storytelling. \nFirst\, Breathe creates space to release stress\, reclaim personal and collective narratives\, and rebuild a sense of wholeness and connection. Each session begins with community yoga\, followed by an artist-led activity that transforms what the body holds into story\, imagination\, and possibility. \nOffered over 4 months (February – May)\, the program is anchored in four phases—RELEASE\, RECLAIM\, REIMAGINE\, REBUILD—a healing arc that moves from letting go of harmful narratives\, to recovering suppressed histories and wisdom\, to re-imagining possibilities for self and community\, to co-creating new visions for the future. \nFebruary’s theme is RELEASE – letting go of harmful narratives about self\, body and community. Yoga will be followed by a movement session for participants of all backgrounds led by Benji Hart.
