Illinois Humanities and the South Side Home Movie Project presented Chicago Style, a multidimensional exploration of Black fashion on Chicago’s South Side from the 1930s through the 80s that culminated in a fashion show and the debut of Momentum, a film curated and scored by Ayana Contreras, on September 21, 2024, at the Green Line Performing Arts Center. By intertwining history, community, and creativity, Chicago Style fostered intergenerational dialogue, community cohesion, and cultural identity through the powerful language of fashion.
