South Side Home Movie Project invites you to tune into Facebook Live with Arts + Public Life every Thursday night at 7pm to experience a unique program of vintage home movie footage from the South Side Home Movie Project, sound-tracked by some of Chicago’s top DJs.
This week DJ L O Kari will be spinning an all-vinyl
set inspired by scenes of kickbacks and turn ups in the home movie
archives, themed “The Pedagogy of Joy,” reflecting a time when we’re all
“between the grooves.” Featured home movies include clips from the
Pitts, Frazier, Merrifield, Alsup-Smith, Maxwell, Patton, Buford and
Ellis Family Collections.
