Chicago Black Social Cultural Map: Community Curators Exhibition & Programming

This exhibition documents the pre-house era influence and innovation of a 1970’s dance crew based in Chicago's Roseland community. These young Black men from Mendel Catholic High School elevated the school’s parties to new prominence, creating significant social cultural contributions to the teen scene and party culture in Chicago. This exhibition emerges from the Chicago Black Social Culture Map’s Community Curators Program which examines the personal archives of The Doctors in collaboration with curatorial writer, DaJona Butler.
