ART 280 Student Artwork Published in Housing Justice Magazine

In the spring of 2022, William Estrada's ART 280: Collaborative Resistance Printshop class worked in collaboration with Housing Action Illinois (HAI) to reflect on questions the organization posed about the future of housing justice. Here's what HAI had to say about the experience: "While lifting up the past and present for our 35th anniversary, HAI also thought it essential to look toward our collective future. We decided to ask young housing advocates how they think about good, affordable homes and give them a platform to share their messages in Momentum: 35 Years of Housing Action.

Led by artist and activist William Estrada, the class practiced creating graphic images within a social and political context to amplify the stories and concerns of historically marginalized groups. Their work spotlights the struggles that marginalized communities face when it comes to housing access and calls for a tomorrow in which good homes are available to all." Congratulations to ART 280 artists Arta Amiti, Ashley Holiday Perez, Afnan Ellythy, Guillermo Zacharias, Maggie Reynolds, Brock Vander Wrigley, and Alejandro Valdez.
