The Phantom Gallery Chicago Network has
partnered with Faces Not Forgotten Saint Louis, to present the Faces Not
Forgotten – Chicago. The Faces project was started by artist, Christine
Ilewski. She began painting portraits of children who have died from victims of
gun violence in memory of Lorenzo Rosebaugh. It is her hope that by putting a
face to these victims, we can raise awareness about gun violence in the USA.
Posting pictures is a powerful way to
promote engagement, as pictures tend to garner more views, likes, shares, and
comments than text alone. Join us as we present forty-one Chicago artists who
responded to the call for artists, to join our social justice movement by
painting portraits of Chicago youth who have lost their lives as victims of gun
violence.
