Chicago Gun Share Program
Practitioner:
The Escape Pod, The Brady Center To Prevent Gun Violence
Date:
May 10 2018
'Gun-sharing' stations in Chicago use art to make a point about gun violence. Users can’t actually grab a gun from the stations, but its creators hope the installation will send a message about how disturbingly easy it is for a citizen to acquire an assault weapon—as easy as renting a bike. They can also make a donation to the Brady Center and learn more about the campaign's gun safety efforts.
