Presented by the Fleming Museum:

Rebecca Zorach (Mary Jane Crowe Professor of Art History at Northwestern University) will speak about contemporary artists whose work deals with Chicago’s South Side—Theaster Gates, Cauleen Smith, and Amanda Williams—as well as activist groups that are engaging with both environmental and social issues. Zorach teaches and writes on early modern European art, contemporary activist art, and art of the 1960s and 1970s.
