2016 Create Change Spotlight, Misra Walker
Channel: The Laundromat Project
Date: 11/05/2017

Misra uses an helado cart, an icon in the Latino Bronx community, to document the impact of climate change on communities of color like Hunts Point/Longwood by combining statistics with memories from community members of how climate change has impacted them whether in the Bronx or back home in the Caribbean. The fully functioning cart uses a pollution monitor to track the quality of air and temperature in the neighborhood and maps out the changes that occur. Residents will be able to interact by sharing a memory in exchange they receive a free frozen dessert.
