To support “Chicago Style: Fashion and Design, Past and Present,” a series of programs focused on the role of vernacular design—specifically fashion and style—in the lives of everyday South Side Chicagoans. A design cohort creates a new episode of the livestreamed web series, “Spinning Home Movies,” using archival footage, original music, and oral interviews that are screened in conjunction with moderated conversations at local thrift shops and at a culminating event, featuring a fashion show and discussion as well. The programs take place as part of the Terra Foundation initiative Art Design Chicago.
