Tonika Lewis Johnson, Amanda Williams, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor on Housing Justice
About the Event:
This Fair Housing Month, join us for an illuminating conversation on housing and racial inequality in Chicago and across the country with social justice artist Tonika Lewis Johnson, visual artist Amanda Williams, and author Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor. Led by National Public Housing Museum Executive Director Lisa Lee, these three MacArthur Fellows will discuss how their work, individually and collectively, helps us better understand the systemic discrimination that permeates our country and how art and activism together can move us toward justice.
This event is supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation as part of a year-long celebration of the 45th anniversary of the MacArthur Fellows program.
