Chicago Performance Artist Jefferson Pinder

Jefferson Pinder is one of Chicago’s most provocative artists, creating performance and multidisciplinary work that focuses on race and struggle. At this special CHF event, Pinder will sit down to discuss past large-scale performance-based works such as Red Summer of 1919 that engage community and incorporate historical reenactment to reflect on trauma with the hope of inspiring dialogue about history and the potential for change. Following the conversation, Pinder will perform a piece, Trajectories, that speaks to current hostilities around race and our public spaces in Chicago.
