Oral history interview with Tacoma resident Chace Hunter conducted by dindria barrow on August 25, 2022. In this interview, Chace talks about his family immigrating to Hilltop, Tacoma in 1993, then moving to South Tacoma in 1998, graduating from Western Washington University as well as University of Washington-Tacoma and then buying a home in Hilltop as an adult. Chace’s family fled Cambodia to escape the Khmer Rouge and were refugees in Thailand before coming to Tacoma. He is bilingual and has been married to his husband for six years. Chace has a passion for poetry, psychology, non-profits and nursing. Chace fell in love with his HIV Prevention work and is now the executive director of the AIDS Housing Association of Tacoma (AHAT Homecare). AHAT Homecare provides 24-hour home care, affordable housing/case management, and rental vouchers to the local HIV+ community. To paraphrase Chace: “I love giving back to the community, especially during a time of houselessness, and helping to provide homes to people in need.”

Measures 42 feet by 17 feet. The medium is latex paint on concrete, fabricated acrylic pieces, and graffiti coating.

Measures eight feet by ten feet. The medium is a graphite drawing and print transfer onto wood and acrylic paint. Dionne Bonner's description of the work is "[t]his temporary art installation was installed on the grounds of the Salishan community in Tacoma, WA. The installation created an opportunity for self-reflection by remembering our lives are a collection of moments reconstructed over time. Like cells. our experiences connect to form complete vital memories".

Measures 36 feet by eight feet. The medium is latex paint on marine quality wood panels and graffiti coating. Dionne Bonner's description of the work is "'Interconnections' mural represents unity and is dedicated to each community member's contribution (long-time, displaced, and new) to the lively and diverse Hilltop neighborhood. The indelible mark the Black community has had in shaping this neighborhood is unmistakable. But this community has not always been reported on or seen in its true light. There has been a narrowness of thought about Hilltop in the past, and through a skewed lens, the resiliency of the Black community has been ignored".
