Artists Live with Nazafarin Lotfi and Ben Lamar Gay

Arts + Public Life (APL), an initiative of UChicago Arts, is a dynamic hub of exploration, expression, and exchange that centers people of color and fosters neighborhood vibrancy through the arts on the South Side of Chicago. As a neighborhood platform for arts and culture in Washington Park, APL provides residencies for Black and Brown artists and creative entrepreneurs, arts education for youth, and artist-led programming and exhibitions.

Moderated by Emily Hooper Lansana (Senior Director of Community Arts at the Logan Center)

The "Artists Live" series features a diverse range of artists, at different stages in their careers, in an intimate dialogue about their personal and professional paths. The conversations examine a variety of topics, revealing each individual artist's story in the process, and include opportunities for audiences to engage with the artists in discussion.
