MAPPING EAST HARLEM RESILIENCE
Image and design by me
This project sought to address the issues of food insecurity and sovereignity in East Harlem. I argue that the 2017 East Harlem rezoning plan should be leveraged to propose site-specific and community-driven projects to develop joint- initiatives between the affordable housing sector and the community food systems, as a first step to achieve food sovereignty. This Report is an effort to examine what is happening rather than simply what is wrong in this community, revealing geographies of ethnic retails, environmental racism, self-reliance and collaboration that unfold within spatialized food inequities.
