Tu Casa Es Mi Casa: Artists Respond to Gentrification
hopes to bring awareness of the changes that are
occurring across Chicago, neighborhoods that are
considered low-Income areas are being bought out,
rehabbed, while the residents are being displaced and
pushed out. Some say artists are partly to blame,
since they make the neighborhoods safe for urban
professionals or real estate companies to come in and
buy property as an investment. Artists are usually on
the low-end of the income scale and that is a major
reason why they look to move into areas that offer
cheap rent. What is an artist to do?
