Description
IOP Pritzker Fellow Tonika Lewis Johnson on "Reimagining Equity: Art as a Tool To Fight To Disrupt Segregation"
THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY
Monday, February 10
12:30-1:45pm
In this seminar, Tonika will explore the intersection of art, history and systemic change, showcasing how her work challenges entrenched narratives, preserves Black cultural memory and proposes innovative strategies to reverse decades of harm. From exposing exploitative housing practices to fostering neighborhood revitalization, she illustrates how creative storytelling can connect people to history and inspire tangible action. She will highlight the transformative power of art as a catalyst for reimagining equity and driving community-driven solutions.
Later this spring, Tonika will host a local trek with students and share how her art reveals the lasting impact of historic injustice and drives systemic change - showcasing creative strategies to reimagine equity and empower communities.
Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
