Requests:  0 Summary:  In the 1960s and early 1970s, Chicago witnessed a remarkable flourishing of visual arts associated with the Black Arts Movement. From the painting of murals as a way to reclaim public space and the establishment of independent community art centers to the work of the AFRICOBRA collective and Black filmmakers, artists on Chicago's South and West Sides built a vision of art as service to the people. In Art for People's Sake Rebecca Zorach traces the little-told story of the visual arts of the Black Arts Movement in Chicago, showing how artistic innovations responded to decades of racist urban planning that left Black neighborhoods sites of economic depression, infrastructural decay, and violence. Working with community leaders, children, activists, gang members, and everyday people, artists developed a way of using art to help empower and represent themselves. Showcasing the depth and sophistication of the visual arts in Chicago at this time, Zorach demonstrates the crucial role of aesthetics and artistic practice in the mobilization of Black radical politics during the Black Power era. -- Publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 700.8996 Zo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 700.8996 Zo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 700.8996 Zorach Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 700.8996 Zo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 700.8996 Zo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList
