Folded Map Project
Tonika Lewis Johnson started the Folded Map Project as a visual investigation of Chicago neighborhoods. She finds residents living on North and South Side blocks (like 6900 North Ashland in Rogers Park and 6900 South Ashland in West Englewood), introduces them to one another, then takes their photograph. Through this brilliantly simple concept, the project exposes urban segregation and its effects on Chicago residents. (Tanner Woodford)
