Rewind Five Years: What Was Life Like For Chicago Youth In 2021?
Published 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
The Look Back to Go Forward exhibit at Harold Washington Library displays artifacts collected from 5,000 Chicago youth that were sealed in a time capsule in 2021.
While five years might not seem like a long time, Living Record executive director Stacey Gillett says that opening time capsules on a short-term basis can increase the likelihood that students get to see and reflect on their entries, rather than the capsule being lost to time.
In the Loop learns more about this project and collaboration with the Chicago Public Library.
GUESTS: Stacey Gillett, Living Record co-founder and executive director
Chris Brown, Chicago Public Library Commissioner
