The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and members of the North Lawndale community kick off their Rooting of Oaks of North Lawndale project by planting 10 trees and place 10 stones on the campus of Homan Square. The day will begin with artist Pedro Reyes overseeing the production of his work Palas por Pistolas (Shovels from Pistols), repurposing weapon waste into shovel heads. These shovels will then be used to dig the holes to plant the trees.
