The (Mis)Education of Chicago focuses on the Chicago School Closing of 2013. Former Mayor Rahm Emmanuel, along with Chicago Public Schools (CPS) closed over 40 schools on the North, South and West sides of Chicago. This project focuses not only on photographing the closed schools, but community members that were either directly or indirectly impacted by their closings. 

Each school photograph was paired with a portrait of a closed school based on the person’s connection to the institution. Both the photos of the schools themselves and the people impacted by the closings serve as a testament to the aftermath caused by systemic racism. It highlights the fact that people of color are not responsible for the social economic systems we find ourselves in; we simply learn to survive in them.
