Chris Devins uses art to celebrate community identity, revitalize Chicago
"In addition, Devins sits on the Board of Directors of the Bronzeville Trail Task Force development group, which will formally launch its campaign on Martin Luther King’s birthday. The group seeks to transform an abandoned train line into an elevated biking and walking trail, similar to the 606, a popular trail on Chicago’s North Side that has brought significant development to the area in the last five years."
18 questions with Indiana's NO HARM
"I love filming and editing things. My last music video was shot spontaneously while my friend and I were at a concert. I had a crazy hat that flashed lights and he had glasses with colored lenses that we used as a camera filter. My next music video that I'm releasing shortly after my EP releases (9/16/22) was shot and edited by me. The song is about my friends so I just filmed my friends and I hanging out. I'm super excited to put it out to the world."
13 questions with Chicago's Smita Sahoo, owner of āśaya | DESIGN
"I’m inspired by nature and the constant evolution of design. Design that is in sync with nature is always timeless and sophisticated. I believe it’s important to know the history and background influencing design so that we can continue to push forward in developing new styles that challenge convention while also encouraging an inviting atmosphere for users. My creations present a considerate blend of design innovations of the west paired with timeless elements of the east."
