Folded Map Action Kit
Folded Map believes that the road to a more equitable tomorrow begins by understanding your specific reality today, and how systemic racism has impacted your lived experiences, socially and otherwise. This specially designed, thoughtfully curated Folded Map™ kit was built with the intention to help you understand the structural disparities between Chicago neighborhoods. Use it as a guide to actively make new connections and explore a part of the city you might have a narrow understanding of.
Made up of three parts, the kit comes with a letter from UIC professor Maria Krysan and Tonika, gives background on the Folded Map™ project and a mini workbook for you to keep track of your notes as you unpack your own experience and respectfully embark on some new ones. They worked hard on this—because the most worthy work is worth it.
