"Bronzeville Renaissance"

"Bronzeville Renaissance”
Augmented Reality Mural, September 2020
3805 S Michigan Ave, Chicago IL

“We are each other’s harvest; we are each other’s business; we are each other’s magnitude and bond.” -Gwendolyn Brooks, Poet, Author of “A Street in Bronzeville”, First African American Pulitzer Prize Winner

Located in Bronzeville, a center of African-American life and culture in Chicago, this mural celebrates the community's rich history and modern-day renaissance. The mural also looks to the future which brings the threat of climate change, and it envisions rising above this challenge using innovation and renewable technologies to build a "Community of the Future". 

This mural was sponsored by ComEd, an electric utility serving Greater Chicago.  Partnering with community leaders, ComEd is leading an initiative to develop a connected, resilient and sustainable community in Bronzeville called the "Community of the Future".
