The term "Chiraq" has grown into being recognized by popular culture as an acceptable term for Chicago in relation to violence, specifically on the West and South sides of the city. Project NIA has developed curriculum and has held several workshops within Chicago to explore both the effects of violence and what the term "Chiraq" means to those residents most effected by violence.

Primarily short personal essays on what "Chiraq" means to residents, young and old, this zine will educate as well as open a dialog about violence and perception. NB
