Generations of Latinos have settled in the same regions in Chicago, them being the Pilsen community and Little Village. Exploring the traditions, heritage and values within these areas is very important to understand the people within these areas and their background. As the art in Pilsen and Little Village are explored much of Latinos heritage will be revealed as well.
Spring 2012 English 160 UIC students (whose videos can be found under February 2012 tabs) were asked to create visual essays on Chicago. They were asked to consider the following themes and to pick one: Immigration, Art, Education, Social Class and Violence. The goal was to create a visual argument on Chicago and one of these themes. Enjoy!
