Tune in to Lumpen Radio for a conversation about the Chicago History Museum’s exhibition, Designing for Change: Chicago Protest Art of the 1960s-70s, with exhibiting artist Monica Trinidad, curator Olivia Mahoney, and Erica Griffin, the Museum’s Director of Education. The exhibition centers the role of art in promoting social justice in Chicago, with a particular focus on the 1960s and 70s. The program explores the importance of art as a powerful tool for expressing dissent and catalyzing change, as well as the intersections of race, gender, and class in social movements of that era. The discussion delves into the ways in which art disrupted dominant narratives to support social justice efforts.

The Art Design Chicago Talk Series airs every 2nd & 4th Wednesday of the month at 11am on 105.5FM Chicago or lumpenradio.com.
