Listening. A word often associated with ears alone; yet for alt_ Chicago, listening is a full-body experience, engaging the mind, body, and soul. Through art, faith, and community, we remind ourselves and others that we are in constant dialogue—with ourselves, our neighbors, and our environment. This intentional listening allows us to collaboratively shift the culture in ways that are both meaningful and enduring.
