SAPPHIRE AND CRYSTALS: Celebrating the Enduring Spirit of a Black Women-Led Art Movement!
Episode three of ART AS MOVEMENT. The documentary series celebrates Black artists' resilience, creativity, and cultural contributions. The series provides a comprehensive exploration of the art itself and contextualizes it within the broader social and historical fabric of Chicago. Sapphire and Crystals tell the story of their mission to give voice and opportunity to African American women artists by participating in and increasing our visibility in art institutions and honoring our history and culture.
