Cobble Paths Brooklyn

Windows Brooklyn

For the Windows Brooklyn exhibition I created an interactive map installation that invited Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill pedestrians to record their daily mental maps of the area.  The interactive map will consisted of multi-colored masking tape applied to the inside of the storefront window.  On the outside of the window, two dry-erase markers hung by string from the storefront. . Posters facing the street simply asked, “How did you get here?” and, “Where are you going?”  Passers-by were allowed to record their answers by drawing their mental maps with the non-permanent markers. The window map was an opportunity for the public to think about their pedestrian experience, socially engage the storefront, and visually collaborate with others in the Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill neighborhoods.

    • Last night’s #BugJumpBaltimore #detournement: fixing a rusty, collapsed scupper drain aka #mobilitydeathtrap that @bmorecitydot can’t seem to fix with cast aside DOT delineators. Stay safe out there!
    • Just doin my thing: hanging around #Mondawmin in my #BigJumpBaltimore t-shirt before a TV interview about the impact of e-scooters in Baltimore, as captured by Street View back in June. #TAPdruidhill
    • I’m humbled that @jdesantisart and @courtneybettle invited me to collaborate on realizing their #ArchesAndAccess vision for illuminating the historic #DruidHillPark Gate in the style of Jessy’s beautiful painting. Jessy is a self-taught artist, Courtney is a talented organizer, and both are moms with amazing families living in #ReservoirHill. Together we expanded the vision to include lights leading into the park, activated by a joyful community parade showing what life could be like without such huge highways around our cherished green space. #grahamprojects #participatoryart #socialpractice #WestBaltimore
    • Thanks to everyone who made our #ArchesAndAccess #lightart & community #parade a huge success on Sunday! The project was inspired by the creativity of and organized in collaboration with #ReservoirHill artist @jdesantisart & resident @courtneybettle as part of the #BrilliantBaltimore / #lightcity festival. With generous support from @reshillbmore & @promoandarts we illuminated the historic gate to #DruidHillPark, shutdown Madison Ave & Druid Park Lake Dr to cars, and created a spectacular place for neighbors to march, dance, & read poetry in celebration of our West Baltimore communities united in green space and creating #streetsforpeople. Shout out to Councilman @leonfpinkett for getting us Sheriff traffic control & reading his stirring poem on community, @rawlingsconservatory for hosting an incredible party,
@side_a_photo for the rad photo booth, food trucks @everythingturkey & @wildthyme, @benevolentbubbles for the uplifting #bicycle bubbles, @mexiartbyale for the Catrin & Catrina #puppets, @girlscouts for representing, and the amazing @baltimoretwilighters for the rockin #marchingband beats and dance performances.
