Please join MoCP for the friends & family reception of Art, Activism, Policy, Power: Conveying Migration Stories, photographs and oral history interviews from CPS students at South Shore College Prep, Lincoln Park High School, and Prosser Career Academy.
In 2024, high school students from South Shore College Prep, Lincoln Park High School, and Prosser Career Academy worked with artists Dawit L. Petros, Regina Agu, and Jonathan Castillo. Students created photographic portraits and oral history records to capture stories from members of their communities about how people relocated their lives to Chicago. This is a digital exhibition of their work.
About Art, Activism, Policy, Power: In 2021, Curator of Academic Programs and Collections Kristin Taylor launched Art, Activism, Policy, Power as a learning framework for Chicago Public School high school students to work with artists whose practices are at the intersection of art and activism. As a semester long program, artists guide students by introducing skills and concepts to make artworks visually addressing the most important social issues of our time.
