In appreciation of Native American Heritage Month, Petr Mrazek and Alex Stalock each have new masks to wear throughout the month of November, designed by Potawatomi artist Nicole Banditgrey and Ojibwe artist Patrick Hunter.
"Potawatomi people were some of the original inhabitants of Chicago and being able to represent that in this way brings me so much joy," Banditgrey said of Mrazek's design inspiration. "The artists before me found beauty in our surroundings and this is where my inspiration comes from also."
