  • Story Wall Completed As Part of Ped Mall Project
    Installation of 'A Mark was Made' story wall completed as part of Ped Mall project A story wall entitled "A Mark was Made" has been recently installed in the Black Hawk Mini Park area of the Downtown Pedestrian Mall. The wall illuminates the impact that 17 Iowa Citians have had on the City from the 1830s until today. The piece is located in the southwest corner of the Black Hawk Mini Park of the downtown Pedestrian Mall. it is adjacent to the Paul Hellen Building, which houses the Iowa Artisans Gallery, and the 110 S. Dubuque Street building, home to Buzz Salon. The wall was created to become an evolving acknowledgement celebrating the leadership, activism, and creativity of those who have influenced the Iowa City community and beyond. Constructed of limestone faced blocks, The Story Wall features plaques with the names and accomplishments of local leaders of the past and present. The wall is also adorned with metallic silhouettes of birds. The honorees were selected by soliciting the general public for their suggestions. Over 80 individuals were nominated through an online poll conducted in October and November of 2017. A committee of local historians, University of Iowa representatives, and downtown business owners then reviewed the list and selected a balance of honorees that represent Iowa City over the years in areas related to discovery, education, commerce, culture, and community. The complete list of those honored: 1830s: Cyrus Sanders- Discovery Early Johnson County surveyor described pioneer life in Iowa City. His farmhouse remains at 2040 Waterfront Drive. 1850s: Martha Reno- Education African American woman who fought racial inequality and school taxation when her daughter was not allowed to attend.

Data Podpis kierującego pracą Oświadczenie autora (autorów) pracy Świadom odpowiedzialności prawnej oświadczam, że niniejsza praca dyplomowa została napisana przez mnie samodzielnie i nie zawiera treści uzyskanych w sposób niezgodny z obowiązującymi przepisami. Oświadczam również, że przedstawiona praca nie była wcześniej przedmiotem procedur zwią- zanych z uzyskaniem tytułu zawodowego w wyższej uczelni. Oświadczam ponadto, że niniejsza wersja pracy jest identyczna z załączoną wersją elek- troniczną. Data Podpis autora (autorów) pracy 2 Streszczenie Sneakerhead posiada w swojej kolekcji od kilkudziesięciu do kilkuset par obuwia sportowego. Poświęca swojej pasji wiele czasu, zaangażowania i pieniędzy. Jest aktywny w grupie podobnych mu kolekcjonerów i tworzy z nimi interesujące relacje. Mimo złożo- ności całego zjawiska jakim jest kolekcjonowanie butów sportowych ciężko znaleźć opra- cowania na ten temat. Moja praca ma na celu przybliżenie tego zjawiska. Analiza powstała w głównej mierze na podstawie wywiadów oraz obserwacji uczestniczącej. Punktem wyjścia dla pracy jest uregulowanie słownictwa związanego z polskimi sneakerheadami i ich pasją. Dla nadania dalszym rozważaniom odpowiedniego kontekstu w pracy po krótce przybliżona została historia obuwia oraz jego rola w kulturze. Duża część analizy jest oczywiście poświęcona kolekcjom sneakerheadów oraz relacjach jakie łączą ich ze zbieranymi przedmiotami. Ważne miejsce w pracy zajmuje rola nostalgii i tęsknoty za dzieciństwem wśród sneakerheadów.
