Public Newsroom #17: Who Tells the Story of Englewood?

6:00 pm — 8:00 pm

On May 11, we’ll have Englewood-based photographer Tonika Johnson in the Public Newsroom for a workshop and discussion on photography, overcoming neighborhood stigmas, and defining what we mean when we talk about “narrative shifting” in Chicago. Johnson’s current and ongoing photography project, “From the INside,” seeks to challenge negative perceptions of Englewood by creating images of vibrancy, normalcy and everyday life from her “insider” perspective. She will lead a conversation on how media can empower communities to tell their own story while guiding Public Newsroom guests through selections from her body of work.
