Assistant Professor Salvador Jiménez-Flores Completes Sculpture Project In Little Village

Assistant Professor Salvador Jiménez-Flores was recently featured in the Chicago Sun Times for completing his sculpture Caminantes, a nine-foot tall celebration of the immigrant experience in Little Village. Jiménez-Flores was able to construct the work with funds from the Chicago Sculpture Exhibit as the winner of its Richard Hunt Award, which grants artists $10,000 to create large-scale public art installations across Chicago. 

In an interview with the Sun Times, Jiménez-Flores said, “We underestimate how courageous people are to leave behind everything they know for an uncertain dream.”
