Faheem Majeed Studio
+ Tempestt Hazel in conversation via a virtual program with
The Art Institute of Chicago
From the Center, a retrospective of Faheem Majeed’s works from the past 20 years is also currently on view at the South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC) until March 27th!!
Following, Majeed will create an ambitious new installation for the Hyde Park Art Center that furthers his investigation of culturally specific institutions by focusing on the history and memory of the historic South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC). Majeed will produce a monumental charcoal rubbing of the building façade of the SSCAC as the central focus of his first large-scale solo exhibition. In addition to this new fabric work, Majeed will also be incorporating his ongoing series of reused wooden planks entitled Planting and Maintaining a Perennial Garden repurposed from the SSCAC’s Burroughs Gallery. For this installation, the wooden planks will take the form of a platform that will both raise the massive building-sized fabric rubbing on a pedestal and be host to performance and discussion. The exhibition will be on view from April 15–July 11, 2021.

Racial Justice League Book ClubYWCA
Exclusive to Racial Justice League Members
Being part of the YWCA’s Racial Justice League means more than taking our pledge. We encourage our individual and organizational members to make specific commitments to advance racial justice.
One way to take action is to learn about systemic racism and its pervasive effects. The Racial Justice League Book Club provides an opportunity to hear from leading voices on civil rights and the history of racism, and a safe space to discuss the specific impacts on our communities.
I Am Not Your Negro Book CoverIn honor of Black History Month, we’ve selected our second Book Club Book: I Am Not Your Negro, by James Baldwin. The book, and accompanying film, provide insight into Baldwin’s relationships with three famous, assassinated friends—Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
While it can be easy to think of each as just a historical figure, the novel puts their individuality back in the forefront as people who just wanted their humanity recognized and respected.
The virtual Book Club discussion will be:
