Conveying Migration Stories: oral history interviews
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 compilation of their interviews that accompany their photographic portraits. An in-person exhibition of this work is also on view from January 17 – February 16, 2025 at the Columbia College Chicago Community Engagement Hub located on the first floor of 600 S. Michigan Ave. The gallery hours are Monday – Saturday, 10am – 4pm.
