This recording of a two-part event, held on October 25, 2018, in conjunction with the exhibition Never a Lovely So Real: Photography and Film in Chicago, 1950–1980, begins with a conversation among artists Darryl Cowherd, Roy Lewis, Ozier Muhammad, and Jim Stricklin, facilitated by the exhibition’s curator, Michal Raz-Russo.

Following that conversation, journalists Natalie Y. Moore (WBEZ) and Kyra Kyles (Myth Lab Entertainment and former editor-in-chief of Ebony), historian Romi Crawford (School of the Art Institute of Chicago), and artists Maria Gaspar and Tonika Johnson discuss the lasting legacy of Black Arts Movement artists.
