Toiling away in the Kartemquin Archives, archivist Lyra Hill recently uncovered a lost film by Kartemquin Collective member Teena Webb circa 1973-74, Public Art in Chicago. Learn more about the film and other archival gems over at the Kartemquin Films Archive Project and check out Webb’s 1974 film Viva la Causa, which documents the creation of a mural in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood.
