Central Park Ave.\u00a0 You are invited to join 22nd Ward Alderman Ricardo Munoz, community residents, the Chicago Public Art Group and local artists for a showcase of things to come in Chicago&#8217;s 2017 &#8220;Year of Public Art.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Munoz, community groups, local artists and the city worked together to organize the current mural project.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0collaboration\u00a0 provides a model for the upcoming \u201cYear of Public Art.\u201d The City of Chicago is committing $1.5 million in local artist-led projects in all 50 city wards to bring new public art installations such as underpasses, bridges and cement walls.<\/p>\n<p>The so-called \u201cSepia&#8221; mural project is named for the richly brown-toned murals, presenting dual cultural\u00a0themes in two borderline underpasses in the 22nd Ward, one at the intersection of Cermak Road and Central Park Avenue, and the other near 2225 S. Trumbull Ave.<\/p>\n<p>The murals\u00a0symbolize a communication channel between two ethnicities. One side of the walls presents tapestries with patterns from different regions of Mexico and Mexican- American experiences of living in Chicago. The other side introduces Adinkra symbols from West Africa with conceptual meanings such as \u201cunity\u201d and \u201cstrength.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another theme highlights the experiences of community elders. Photos of these residents portrayed on the walls of the underpasses were taken by Munoz&#8217;s assistant Abdul-Aziz Hassan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47656\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47656\" style=\"width: 1100px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-47656 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/12\/sepia-elders.jpg\" alt=\"sepia-elders\" width=\"1100\" height=\"699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/12\/sepia-elders.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/12\/sepia-elders-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/12\/sepia-elders-768x488.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/12\/sepia-elders-1024x651.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47656\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chicago Public Art Group artists\u00a0painted portraits of community residents on the wall at the intersection of Cermak Road and Central Park Avenue in Little Village. (Wen-Yee Lee\/ MEDILL)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cSeeing some of the similarities with migration or lack of access to rights, or struggles that the communities are facing today in contemporary situations, and then putting that on the canvas&#8221; is a way of allowing people to conceptualize common ground and connect, explained Hassan why they brought these artists together.<\/p>\n<p>Little Village and North Lawndale have smouldered with gang activity for years and the tension segregates the two neighborhoods. Sansing witnessed a shooting while painting the mural, he said. \u201cI believe that is just kind of reinforcing the reason why this [mural] is needed in the neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we can do is kind of try to focus on things that are positive,\u201d said Hassan. \u201cThat\u2019s what we are trying to achieve with these murals.\u201d He also hopes public art will help\u00a0young people and spark their \u00a0imaginations. \u201cIt\u2019s a small, but necessary and important part of the overall puzzle to fix everything. You have to be inspired.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sepia project launched through participatory budgeting in the 22nd ward. Three years ago, the residents voted to commission community murals at viaducts and underpasses, and the ward worked with the Chicago Public Arts Group and provided $60,000 in funding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsually, most of the murals you see in Little Village or North Lawndale are by non-profits, or art groups, or the artists themselves,\u201d said Hassan.<\/p>\n<p>He hopes more art projects like Sepia can be launched in the neighborhood with the opportunity of the \u201cYear of Pubic Art.\u201d In 2017, each ward will be allowed to utilize up to $10,000\u00a0to support art installations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a call for artists from every ward to be included in a wide-ranging retrospective of our Chicago art,\u201d said Mark Kelly, commissioner of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. \u201cThe city will be on fire with public art almost in every neighborhood in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Having helped install public art such as the Sepia project in many neighborhoods in Chicago,\u00a0Steve Weaver, executive director of Chicago Public Art Group, said the group will build on\u00a0the many relationships already established for the \u201cYear of Public Art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve already approached aldermen and are telling them about this opportunity and we\u2019re hoping that we can get out some more projects going in neighborhoods, especially neighborhoods that are art deserts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Weaver emphasized how public art could help start a conversation that a neighborhood needs to have or wants to have by taking the art into\u00a0places like the border of Little Village and North Lawndale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u00a0have cultures that need to be represented,\u201d said Sansing, \u201cI feel the \u2018Year of Public Art\u2019 in Chicago is a very strong tool.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: A mural painted by artists of the Chicago Public Art Group presents Mexican culture and the\u00a0experiences of Mexican-Americans in Chicago in the underpass near 2225 S.
