SUMMARY:Of Poetry and Protest
DESCRIPTION:3A panel presented by\nThe Guild Literary Complex + Rebuild Foundation \nThis afternoon with Angela Jackson\, Haki Madhubuti\, and Eugene Redmond\, some of the most important Chicago-area poets working at the intersection of literary innovation and political resistance over the last 50 years\, inaugurates a new collaboration between The Guild and Rebuild Foundation that builds on the widely praised 2016 anthology of African American political art and poetry\, Of Poetry and Protest: From Emmett Till to Trayvon Martin (WW Norton) co-edited by Guild Founding Executive Director Michael Warr\, who also joins in this collaboration. This program anticipates the late June installation\, on the Stony Island Arts Bank’s lawn\, of the Gazebo where Tamir Rice was murdered by the Cleveland Police. The Gazebo’s erection as a memorial will be accompanied by additional Of Poetry and Protest programming and a small exhibition co-organized by the Guild and Warr. Looking ahead\, and reflecting on the deconstructed Gazebo currently on display\, these Chicago area writers included in the anthology will gather to share work from the book and engage with Michael Warr\, the collection’s Poetry Editor\, about the histories\, traditions\, and experiences that their work draws on\, and about the role that poetry and art can play in grieving\, memorializing\, and resisting the human cost that the systems of racial violence with which we live extract. \n\n\n\n\nAbout our partner: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRebuild Foundation is a platform for art\, cultural development\, and neighborhood transformation. Its mission is to leverage the power and potential of communities\, buildings\, and objects that others have written off through innovative\, entrepreneurial arts and cultural initiatives. This work is informed by three core values: black people matter\, black spaces matter\, and black objects matter. Founded by artist Theaster Gates\, Rebuild is part of a network of sister organizations that collaborate to extend the social engagement of Gates’ studio practice to the South Side of Chicago and beyond.
