In the Frunchroom: Tonika Johnson

Our next reader for the next Frunchroom show this Thursday is Tonika Johnson.

Tonika is a visual artist and photographer from Chicago’s South Side Englewood neighborhood.

In 2010, she helped co-found Resident Association of Greater Englewood (R.A.G.E.) and now she serves as its full-time Program Manager. She was featured in Chicago magazine as a 2017 Chicagoan of the Year.

Her work has been featured at Rootwork Gallery in Pilsen, the Chicago Cultural Center, Harold Washington Library Center, and the Chicago Reader.

Her latest multi-media project titled “Folded Map” illustrates Chicago’s residential segregation. She’ll show photos from this project and share stories about the participants at this week’s Frunchroom.

See Tonika and all our readers at The Frunchroom this Thursday at 730pm at Beverly Arts Center.
