Fabric portraits of people in Illinois prisons will form one big activism quilt
Published 8 months, 1 week ago
Description
This week, at an art gallery in Chicago’s East Garfield Park neighborhood a group of advocates and community members came together to make a quilt.
But this quilt isn’t your average bedspread.
Every square is a PORTRAIT of someone who is – or used to be – locked up inside an Illinois prison.
WBEZ’s Lauren Frost was there, and has this story.
