Samantha Cabrera Friend Each Saturday outside a squat Logan Square bungalow, people in the community know they can come by for items like milk, eggs, fruit, and clothing. Some neighbors come prepared with carts to take home a whole box. This weekly food distribution began last spring as the small house transitioned from a hostel, garden, and interdisciplinary arts space for local artists to a sanctuary for LGBTQ asylum seekers released from immigration detention, calling it Casa Al-Fatiha. Here they could find a place to rest their heads and a community to rely on. The house, formerly known as Earphoria, once kept a schedule abundant with open mics, potlucks, and weekly shows. When in-person gatherings became impossible, two musicians decided to transform the space s art and music legacy into a new one.
