Description
For years, Chicago has grappled with what to do about monuments that fail to recognize the whole truth of the city’s history and memorialize seminal community leaders. The Chicago Monuments Project issued their recommendations this summer for what to do about monuments in the city that feature colonial history and white supremacy. The report included a call for new work. One of the projects receiving a $50k grant will monumentalize Latina history and leaders in Pilsen. Lead producer Carrie Shepherd talks with one of the artists and organizers leading the project—visual artist, photographer, and educator Diana Solís and Hinda Seif, associate professor of sociology and anthropology at the University of Illinois Springfield.
