Curators, artists and activists discuss the vibrant work they are doing with West Side neighborhoods. Panelists include: Tracie D. Hall, director of the Joyce Foundation’s Culture Program and founding curator of Rootwork Gallery, which features artistic expression around healing, reconciliation, and the investigation of folk, street and indigenous cultures; Nicole Marroquin, artist and activist, who uses art, archive and living testimonies to make connections between youth-led political movements and spatial justice; and Sarah Beth Woods, a community activist and multidisciplinary artist who explores femininity through material culture, artifice, and adornment. Woods is the creator of the video project, Hear the Glow of Electric Lights, which features girl groups from the 1960s and works with young women on the west side to assemble a new girl’s musical group. The discussion was moderated by Ra Joy, Executive Director of Change Illinois.
