The Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist showcases his devotion to Black creativity in this exhibition of paintings, sculpture, and installations focused on Freedmen’s Town. The Fourth Ward settlement has a storied legacy as a destination for liberated Black residents following the Civil War. The show explores the complex dynamics at play there, such as how labor, architecture, and resilience factored into emancipation.
