Stories from Roger C. Sullivan High School
Kathryn Rodrigues & Sullivan High School
Project Overview
With a parent in the military, most of my childhood was spent moving every couple of years, often outside of the U.S. By the time I was beginning high school, I had moved 10 times within 5 countries. I grew up going to International Schools where my peers came from all over the world and spoke many different languages which had a huge impact on my worldview. This experience has led me to be fascinated by the ambiguity of simultaneous belonging and longing, separation and closeness, the known and unknown.
In researching CPS schools I came across Sullivan High School, which has the highest population of immigrant and refugee students in Chicago, and knew I wanted it to be the site of my residency with CPS Lives. I was curious how students are able to balance acclimating to American culture while also retaining and celebrating the culture in which they came from. I began visiting the school weekly and making portraits of the students while also sharing our individual journeys to Chicago via Google Earth. We explored how memory works and what smells, sounds, and sights can trigger memories of home. I was struck by the close bonds students have made with each other, often across different cultures and backgrounds. I wanted to make portraits that celebrate these friendships and the beauty and vibrancy that this population brings to Chicago.
Scott Fortino & Interior Spaces
Project Overview
CPS Lives Photographer Scott Fortino continues his fascination with interior spaces in this new set of work, created at public schools around the city. Fortino ends his CPS Lives residency with cool, breathtaking photos from the insides of schools such as Sullivan and Clemente, to reminisce on a time when schools were only quiet at the end of the day.
John Preus & Sullivan High School
Project Overview
I have been working with broken and damaged furniture from the large scale school closings of 2013, both as a contractor and an artist. For me this is both a critique of our educational system, and an attempt to imagine and explore what seems to me a tragic failure of primary education in the US. For my project with Sullivan high school in Rogers Park, I worked with a handful of advanced students who took small cutoff pieces of the wood and plastic furniture that I brought in, and they fashioned a variety of objects including masks and totems, using these little scraps of wood and plastic. Because Sullivan does not have a shop, and has very few woodworking tools, the students would draw onto the wood or plastic, the shapes that they wanted and I would take them back to my shop, and my daughter who recently graduated from high school and was an apprentice in my studio for the past year, cut them out and I brought them back to the students. They made a series of objects with the materials – masks, totems, and garments.
I consider it a tragic state of affairs because of our culture of liability, and how our legal system works, and through no fault of the public schools themselves, there are very few schools that offer hands on education in the trades for fear of injuries and lawsuits. This is a deeply flawed aspect of our legal system that has drastic repercussions on our education system. Not everyone can, nor should want to go to college. It is honorable to work in the trades and my project with Sullivan was a modest attempt to offer them some experience working safely with sharp and dangerous cutting tools. We cannot put nerf corners on the whole world for our young people, and trying to do so does them an unforgivable disservice.
