I was part of a project that documented the oral histories of 101 people living in Chicago in the 20th century. We created an exhibition (Teen Chicago) with people's stories of their teenage years as a basis. I, as well as a group of 14 other interns, interviewed people of all age groups. We were also tasked with helping the design and content of the exhibit as well as working with Weatherhead, a design firm based in Seattle, to create our website and discussion forum.
