Side-by-Side CTU: Strike, Solidarity, and Satire
This multimedia installation reimagines the 2019 Chicago Teachers Union and SEIU strike through a mashup of archival grit and creative remix. For 11 school days, educators and staff shut it down—and this project tells that story like you’ve never seen it. Featuring real strike artifacts, mockumentary-style video art, and a parody reality TV format, Side-by-Side CTU blurs the line between fact and farce to capture the spirit, strategy, and spectacle of collective action. It’s both homage and critique—a love letter to labor, laced with sharp wit and working-class imagination.
