My name is Zo Slater; I am a member of the Housing Choice Voucher
Working Group, who is currently seeking interview subjects for a docu-style
video in development. The project captures a collection of conversations with
people that are members of a protected class sharing their encounters with
housing discrimination in Chicago. With
this project, I would like to force the conversation of how members of all
protected classes are exposed to housing discrimination, and get others to
realize the importance of having these uncomfortable conversations because the information you give, and how you
deliver, and explain that information, has a profound impact on the way our
communities evolve. The project will also have an emphasis on the mental and
emotional distress injuries of individuals and families that experience housing
discrimination with the long-term goal of advocating for higher claims for
emotional damage in discrimination cases
With the growth of the Housing Choice Voucher Working Group,
a group working together to create stable housing opportunities in Chicago and
suburban Cook County, the timeliness of this subject couldn’t be more relevant,
and I would like to stress to you that we plan to approach the subject with
respect and an effort to provide useful information to our audience.
Interviews will be held at different locations around
Chicago.
If you are interested in this project, please contact Zo at info@vennmedia.org
