In our ongoing series, This Is What Chicago Sounds Like, we feature the
voices and people who contribute to our city’s rich cultural diversity. This month
we celebrate women in Chicago who are doing incredible work in the city they love.
In this episode, we hear from Ireashia Bennett, a multimedia artist in Chicago who
creates work that captures and visualizes the complexities of Black Queer life.
Ireashia talks about their love of Hyde Park, what led them to pursue arts, finding
their place as a Black Queer artist, and their current work as Audio / Visual
Productions Manager at University of Chicago's CI3 lab.
