“Love After Homicide was this year’s art installation.  My art students and I transformed Chicago murders into resonating acts of love.  The installation was set up and run entirely by the students in Chicago’s Millennium Park on June 2.  We brought over 500 rocks, each painted as a memorial for a Chicago murder victim (from January 2014 to March of 2015).  These were set out and the public was invited to take a rock in exchange for committing a random act of love.  This was a moving experience for my students and for the participating public.”  – EM
