Maria Gaspar is a Chicago-based artist whose 96 Acres Project "deconstructs" the social impact of Chicago's notorious Cook County Jail. She gave my sound art (AVT 3740 students sounds recorded from actual prison bars recovered as one of the units was being demolished. They have used those recordings to collaboratively create a liberating art. Their mid-semester composite soundscapes are also a part of this walk.
