NORTH LAWNDALE WAYFINDING MAP

This is a map to "connect the spots" -- shipping containers in community green spaces and gardens in North Lawndale! Each spot is represented by an Adinkra symbol chosen by the site's caretakers.
 
You can secure your bike to a rack with the symbol on it. We hope you visit and enjoy them all!

ADINKRA SYMBOLS

Adinkra symbols were developed by the Akan people of West Africa, in what is now the country of Ghana.

There are dozens of Adinkra symbols, representing various concepts, beliefs, and connections to nature.

These symbols are found on fabrics, pottery, architecture, furniture, and more.
