The Flesh & Spirit Show @ Wholesome Roc Gallery & Cafe

Opened in 1987, Wholesome Roc Gallery and Cafe was an alternative art space that hosted exhibitions and events with and focused on queer Black artists in Chicago. In this video, it appears to be opening night for an art show titled “The Flesh & Spirit Show”. Ken Hartmann and his video camera document the buzz happening in this space on opening night. A few artists showing their work are interviewed and share their creative process along with their work.
