Movement and history coalesce in exhibit highlighting The Great Migration(s)

The Promised Land exhibition is on view at the South Side Community Art Center through March 25.

   

Curator Lola Ayisha Ogbara invites viewers to consider the history of the physical space and how our migration stories shape our connectedness to place. The exhibit includes found, archival and current photographic works that feature everything from subjects looking directly into the camera, exteriors of houses, a man riding a horse, people in line and people playing baseball.

Reset sits down with the curator to learn the storied history of the Art Center and the motivation behind the exhibit.

GUEST: Lola Ayisha Ogbara, exhibitions manager & curator, South Side Community Art Center
