'Living' Memorial Challenges Cultural Narrative Around Gun Violence

The video discusses the Gun Violence Memorial Project at the Chicago Cultural Center, designed by Michael Murphy and Mass Design Group. It features four glass houses, each representing 700 Americans killed weekly by gun violence. The project was inspired by personal stories from mothers who lost their sons to gun violence. The memorial aims to change the cultural narrative and influence policy by highlighting the human dignity of those lost. The project faced challenges in capturing the enormity of the issue while maintaining individual narratives, drawing inspiration from the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
