Interview with Quinton Walker
Get PDFQuinton John Walker was born in Texas and when he was three-years old, his parents divorced, splitting the family into two separate households. In 2010 Quinton participated in his first theater production, Christmas at the O.K. This marked the beginning of his lifelong love of theater. He attended Canyon High School in New Braunfels, Texas, and during his Junior and Senior years he took dual credit courses through St. Edwards University. In 2015, Quinton came out to both of his parents as a gay man, something they both were very understanding and respectful of. He spent almost all of his time in school when he wasn’t working on academics, focusing on the school’s theater group, auditioning for and acting in a wide variety of shows before applying and being admitted to the Columbia College Chicago BFA Acting program. He moved to Chicago Illinois not long after graduating from high school, eager to start the rest of his life. The end of his freshman year at Columbia was interrupted by the Coronavirus pandemic, when he moved back to Texas and completed his classes online for the remaining six weeks of the semester.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingquarantine/1022/thumbnail.jp

The Unheard Voices of Environmental Injustice
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? I chose this subject because of its ability to relate to other subjects in the description of the project. It is environmental justice, but that injustice stems from so much more: racial injustice, economic injustice, etc.
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? This poster was made to address the lack of representation and the disastrous predicted outcomes of lives that are ignored until it is too late.
WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS? I wanted to make a powerful statement in the hopes of grabbing the viewers attention, but not giving too much to where it was overwhelming. I added around my boarder a statement made in a for sale sign written by a parent in \u27Cancer Alley\u27 so it could feel more personalized and not just surfaced. I wanted people to relate themselves in a way that was universal, as everyone tries to protect the ones they love. I also chose to use the most unsettling colors from the palette of the image within the children to represent the pollution and misery within the area.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1016/thumbnail.jp
Keep Abortion Safe and Legal
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? With the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, and the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization possibly being heard soon, I thought this was a fitting topic. I think that it is important to give women autonomy in their own bodies and this is fighting for that right to remain in place.
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? I tried to choose a lot of different colors into this piece to make it pop. This is a serious subject, and many people die from at home abortions if they do not have access to safe and legal ones. I wanted to highlight that in a lighter way with the graphics on my poster.
WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS? I like phrases, because I feel like it conveys thoughts and ideas very quickly. I was inspired by local Chicago artist Ben Blount and his work with printmaking.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1024/thumbnail.jp
Interview with Ben Tufts
Get PDFBen Tufts (he/him) was born in Crete, Illinois in 2002 and was raised in Crown Point, Indiana for most of his life. Music has always been important to him since he was young: he began learning guitar when he was seven and formed his band, ASP, in high school around 2018. Not long after starting a band, Tufts got a studio internship where he does audio engineering work and gets a chance to record material with his band. Tufts graduated from Crown Point Highschool in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic began before he started college, so he chose to attend Columbia College Chicago completely online, where he is majoring in audio arts with an interest in music production. Tufts currently lives with his parents in Crown Point.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingquarantine/1032/thumbnail.jp
