Chicago Humanities Festival | Kimberly Drew and Jenna Wortham on Black Futures @ChicagoHumanitiesFestival | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
When Kimberly Drew (This Is What I Know About Art) and Jenna Wortham (New York Times Magazine staff writer and Still Processing podcast host) set out to collaborate, they were guided by a central question: “What does it mean to be Black and alive right now?” The resulting work, Black Futures, brings together diverse contributors across multiple formats—images, essays, recipes, tweets, poetry, and more—to capture and preserve flourishing Black creativity and art in our digital world. Join Drew and Wortham along with Black Futures contributor Chicago sociologist and writer Eve L. Ewing, for a conversation about the radical, imaginative, provocative, and gorgeous world that Black creators are bringing forth today.
This program is presented in partnership with OTV.

Picture an art critic, and you probably think of Jerry Saltz: Pulitzer Prize-winning writer on the importance of art in our cultural lives. At the top of his field, Saltz has a knack for making contemporary art cool and accessible in a way few critics have before. In a conversation with Michael Darling, Saltz looks at how visionary artists have documented and challenged our culture, our times, and our lives.
