Darius Dennis is a Chicago-based artist, muralist and the founder of Big Wall Sign and Mural. In response to the civil unrest and protests against police brutality in 2020, he created the mural “I Am A Man,” located near the Blue Line in Wicker Park, which ignited a series of murals to be produced nationwide. His unique style of recreating Civil Rights era photos on a grand scale is aimed to continue creating culturally relevant ways to share history. This is what his Chicago sounds like.
This segment of “This Is What Chicago Sounds Like” was produced by Ari Mejia. To keep up with Darius Dennis and his work, follow him on Instagram at @72and10.
