On September 21, 2024, Illinois Humanities and the South Side Home Movie Project will present Chicago Style at the Green Line Performing Arts Center. This event will feature a captivating fashion show and the debut of an archival film that delves into Black fashion on Chicago’s South Side from the 1930s through the 1980s. Chicago Style will showcase how fashion serves as a powerful form of visual expression, linking past and present through design. The project culminates in an afternoon of fashion, film, and community celebration, curated and scored by cultural historian and radio DJ Ayana Contreras. The event will also highlight the contributions of the Chicago Style Cohort, a diverse group of community members who have re-envisioned historical elements of everyday Black fashion. Illinois Humanities invites you to join them for this unique experience where history and style collide. Admission is free, but pre-registration is required.
