If you've visited the MOPD Central West Office recently, hopefully you’ve seen the mural installed and dedicated on our walls. We spoke to artist Sam Kirk, who created the mural (titled “We Are Proud,”) and poet Lily Diego-Johnson, whose poem “Disability Pride” appears in it, about creating art that reflects Chicago’s disabled community—and where they get their ideas. Hopefully you’ll be as inspired as we were!
