Chicago 400 is more than an artist—it's a movement rooted in the lived experience of formerly incarcerated people facing residency restrictions and public conviction registries in Illinois. While the name references a coalition, the energy of Chicago 400 is collaborative, drawing on housing advocates, victim services, reentry programs, and faith-based partners. This profile highlights the collective’s activism-inspired artistry, their ongoing community work, and the creative materials that have emerged from the movement.
