Installations + Exhibitions > Solidary & Solitary

The Smart Museum commissioned three local artists to create new work as part of the Chicago presentation of Solidary & Solitary: The Joyner/Giuffrida Collection. Bethany Collins, Samuel Levi Jones, and Amanda Williams—who have all participated in Pamela Joyner and Alfred Giuffrida’s artist-in-residence program—enrich and expand the exhibition’s narrative.

For the Smart’s presentation of Solidary & Solitary, Amanda examines the history and persistence of “redlining” in Chicago, the systematic denial of various services to neighborhoods and communities which is often racially motivated and “white flight” on the South Side, through an exploration in mapping.
