In this project, I discovered that in Harlem, the main issue the community was facing is gentrification. It was not only raising prices but also dismantling cultural institutions and the community as a whole. I chose to do a public art installation because gentrification can not be solved through design, we can only comfort the problem or call attention to it. My posters would be wheat-pasted along high-class storefronts in Harlem that used to house cultural institutions. My posters are in 3 categories, historical, data, quotes from locals, and finally, revolutionary. They are not for Harlem natives but for the people hurting them and taking away their lives. They are high contrast and evoke not only an educational perspective but an emotional perspective. Finally, I created a small 3D model to show how these posters would look on the street and where they would be placed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15929,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[75],"class_list":["post-15927","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-integrative-studio-seminar-2","tag-constructed-environments"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
