I started following a lot of community artists on Instagram that I know have worked in the area of Little Village or know the neighborhood well enough. Scrolling through their pages inspired me on what direction I want to take in terms of design ideas and approach.

The type of questions I can ask to people who grew up in Little Village:

  • Is there a specific event that shaped you into who you are today?
  • Why are you still living in the neighborhood of Little Village?
  • Are you still friends or in touch with the kids with whom you grew up with in this neighborhood? Why or why not?
  • Do you think kids who grow up in this neighborhood have different values than other neighboring communities?
