The Folded Map Curriculum Project is an extension of photographer and social-justice artist Tonika Johnson’s Folded Map project, which explores the history and legacy of segregation in Chicago. Using a compelling artistic approach, the project takes insights informed by decades of social science research and makes them accessible to a broad audience. Offered to Chicago area middle- and high-school teachers free of charge, the professionally designed curriculum includes a teacher’s guide and a student edition in the form of a full-color, artist-illustrated booklet.
