The workshop brings together a cohort of 17 adults from multiple communities to build relationships and learn from each other in Chicago's Southwest Side. Spont-Lemus received a Neighborhood Access Program grant (from the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events). Spont-Lemus will work with cohort participants to produce a limited-edition, trilingual (English-Spanish-Simplified Chinese) book of their writings, which will be distributed locally and for free in late 2023 through community events.
