The Harrison High School Walkouts

A limited edition artist book that takes an archival form based on historical events in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The book draws inspiration from personal interviews and graphic campaigns that shed light on student responses to dealing with the stresses of maintaining social and cultural representation in education.
