The Bright Star Interlude (Ashinta)

YOUmedia Podcast Network

The second year of our Teen Arts Mixtape was interrupted by a global pandemic. Together we were able to produce a mixtape of full and half completed tracks from teens from 7 library branches throughout the city. Major thanks to the Illinois State Library for funding through the Project Next Generation grant, our amazing teen artists, our studio mentors Hakim Dough, DJ Squeak, Bucio, Jeff Hodges, and Jonathan Chambers, and our CPL Teen staff - Faith, Ross, Maggie, Jaime, Sara, Aida, Taylor, Justin, Ava, Rae, and Dan. - Eric R.
