The youth created collection of curiosities magnifies everyday wonders of the Chicago urban ecosystem as experienced by young people living in our city. The living exhibit was built by over 750 youth from diverse Chicago neighborhoods in creative education partnerships with Redmoon’s Neighborhood Arts Programs. The youth use shadow animation, sound installation, surreal visual art, and performance to transform the museum’s South Gallery and Terrace.
