During the 1960s and 70s, Chicago was shaped by art and ideas
produced and circulated on its South Side. Defined by the city’s
social, political, and geographic divides and by the energies of
its multiple overlapping art scenes, this vibrant moment of
creative expression produced a cultural legacy whose impact
continues to unfold nationally and internationally. The Time is
Now! Art Worlds of Chicago’s South Side, 1960-1980, published in
tandem with an exhibition at the Smart Museum of Art, examines this
cultural moment—brimming with change and conflict—and the
figures who defined it. Focusing primarily on African American
artists in and out of the Black Arts Movement, The Time is Now!
re-examines watershed cultural moments: from the Wall of Respect to
Black Creativity, from the Civil Rights Movement to AfriCOBRA, from
vivid protest posters to visionary Afrofuturist art, and from the
Hairy Who to the radical sounds of the Association for the
Advancement of Creative Musicians. Employing new scholarship that
reassesses and recalibrates traditional narratives of postwar
Chicago art, the exhibit resonates with current national dialogues
around race, gender, protest, and belonging. The book contains a
series of long and short essays, interviews, and other contextual
material, along with full-color images of all works included in the
exhibition and extensive reproductions of ephemera and historical
photographs
