Upcoming: Magazine & Website Launch
Join us for our next event, KCC’s Digital Magazine and Website Launch!
Kichwa Community of Chicago will officially present two major projects. The first being the print and digital magazine built in collaboration with the Chicago History Museum’s Aquí en Chicago project. This magazine focuses on Kichwa traditional clothing, spiritual beliefs, and our native tongue.
Additionally, KCC will launch the official website in order to further advance the community’s visibility for our external partners and reach broader audiences. This website will also serve as a step in archiving and preserving the history of Kichwas in Chicago.
