About the Speakers

Brian Andrews is a storyteller and visual technologist, as well as a founding producer and host of Bad at Sports. Andrews’s works have been featured in the Sundance Film Festival, Cannes XR – Festival de Cannes, the Queens Museum, Hyde Park Art Center, and the California Academy of Sciences. Currently he serves as the chair of Post-Production at DePaul University’s School of Cinematic Arts.
 

Camille Gallogly Bacon is a Chicago-based writer and the co-Editor-in-Chief of Jupiter Magazine. She is cultivating a “sweet Black writing life” as informed by the words of poet Nikky Finney and the infinite wisdom of the Black feminist tradition more broadly. Her practice is invested in illuminating the wayward ingenuity of the Black creative spirit and excavating how aesthetics can catalyze a collective reorientation towards relation, connection, and intimacy and away from apathy and amnesia.
 

Tempestt Hazel is a curator, writer, and cofounder of Sixty Inches From Center, a collective of artists, archivists, writers, and arts workers who promote, preserve, and publish writing about culture in the Midwest. Hazel has worked alongside artists, organizers, grantmakers, and cultural workers to explore solidarity economies, cooperative models, future canon creation, and systems change in and through the arts. Her writing has been published with the Archives of American Art Journal, Candor Arts, Haymarket Books, UChicago Press, DePaul Art Museum, Prospect.4, Alphawood Exhibitions, and Duke University, as well as in various exhibition catalogues and artist monographs. She was also the 2019 recipient of the J. Franklin Jameson Archival Advocacy Award from the Society of American Archivists. Hazel was born and raised in Peoria, Illinois, and spent several years in the California Bay Area, but has called Chicago her second home for more than 15 years.
 

Sarah Higgins is Executive + Artistic Director of Art Papers, where she has also served as editor since 2018. She has curated more than 40 exhibitions, featuring a diverse range of emerging, established, and international artists for such institutions as the Hessel Museum of Art, Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, Zuckerman Museum of Art, and Atlantic Center for the Arts. Higgins holds a BFA in Printmaking & Sculpture from the Atlanta College of Art and an MA in Curatorial Studies from the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College.
