Art Public +
"We believe artists are catalysts for change and the transformative power of the arts to shape and nourish our communities, neighborhoods, and city.
Arts + Public Life (APL) is a dynamic hub of exploration, expression, and exchange that centers people of color and fosters neighborhood vibrancy through the arts on the South Side of Chicago. Amongst the many things that the organization does as one of its the most important gifts is its collaboration with artists and the community. APL provides work space residence to selected artists who demonstrate their need as well as the quality of the volume of work they produce in the context of its overall contribution to the community. This month APL and the Center for The Study of Race , Politics and Culture introduced "Remembvering Ghosts," presenting works its Artists-in Residence Cohort--Ayanah Moor, Johnae Strong, and Candace Hunter. Though the works are individual expressed through varie media the work navigates through themes of historical rrasure , resilience,a nd the often-overlooked traces of collective and personal memory that shape our lives today.
