Jacolby Satterwhite in Conversation with Jada-Amina
@ The Art Institute of Chicago
111 S Michigan Ave, Fullerton Hall, Chicago, IL 60603
Opening Tuesday, November 14th, from 6PM - 7:30PM
Join us in person for a conversation with artist Jacolby Satterwhite and artist and curator Jada-Amina followed by an audience Q&A.
Jacolby Satterwhite is celebrated for a conceptual practice addressing crucial themes of labor, consumption, carnality, and fantasy through immersive installation, virtual reality, and digital media. He uses a range of software to produce intricately detailed animations and live-action films of real and imagined worlds populated by the avatars of artists and friends. These animations serve as the stage on which the artist synthesizes the multiple disciplines that encompass his practice, namely illustration, performance, painting, sculpture, photography, and writing.
Jada-Amina is an interdisciplinary artist and cultural worker, born and based on the South Side of Chicago. Their practice is deeply inspired by the preservation, archival, and homemaking practices of Black matriarchs. Their body of work, including sound, video, and collage, explores themes of liminality and collective consciousness by transposing cultural data from both familial archives and the public domain. They are the lead curator of the Black Harvest Film Festival at SAIC’s Gene Siskel Film Center.
Presented in partnership with SAIC’s Department of Film, Video, New Media, and Animation’s Conversations at the Edge series and SAIC Galleries.
This event will be live captioned by Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) services. For additional access requests, visit saic.edu/access.
