So my project, Coco Climate Cart, is a food-bending car slash mobile installation that engages to Hunts Point and Longwood community. The whole idea is that people come up to the car and tell me their story and experience about the weather, especially summertime in 2016 and then they get an icy treat and exchange. The VM raised on Hunts Point and growing up around the community set to the point. I was able to be exposed about environmental justice and racism and systematic racism and how it impacted my community. So a lot of my artistic practice is taking those theories of how my community identity was shaped through a lot of policy-making and a lot of burdens that we face environmentally. It was getting people to talk about climate change and connect it to what they already know but people don't talk about also because here in this community we are a waterfront and we experience hurricane Sandy and some people who were really in the coastal area were impacted and we got people to talk about those things. So I see in Londran, I'm approaching like these can continue to impact more engagement and those issues. Monetary currency is not involved with it so the idea of exchanging your story and someone wanting to hear your story. I've been finding that really interesting where a lot of people is like wow you want to hear what I have to say, I have something to tell you and also just being able to create a safe space where we're able to hear each other so people feel comfortable to share things about like not having heat, not having money or personal things that they don't maybe it's embarrassing to say but it really is important and especially in talking about climate change and how this all relates to each other. It allowed me to grow and build myself as an artist outside of school to really see how I deal with like real world challenges and I learn with the LPs to just step back. I wanted the communities to feel like they can create art. I want them to have control and there's no wrong answers and how to do that. Not so much as an artist but someone as like a listener of my community.
