Description

Chicago’s South Side neighborhoods are saturated with both Black history and Chicago history. From the city’s first world fair held in Jackson Park to the jazz legends founded at the Sunset Cafe, the area is rich in unparalleled culture. Architecture photographer, writer and critic, Lee Bey talks about covering the South Side through the lens of its built environment. His book Southern Exposure: The Overlooked Architecture of Chicago's South Side inspired a new film from WTTW called Building/Blocks: The Architecture of Chicago’s South Side, which you can watch here.
