Growing up, Chicago muralist and painter David Gauna found an escape from everyday life through his artwork. Now, he hopes to give Chicago teenagers a chance to find themselves by encouraging their own creative expression in his “Bloom” art programs across the city. This is what his Chicago sounds like.

This segment of “This Is What Chicago Sounds Like” was produced and edited by Ari Mejia. Learn more about David Gauna and his work on Instagram at @here.i.bloom.
