Maintaining Place through Active Citizenship & Street Food Vending<\/strong><\/p>\n

Privatization, commodification and securitization are threatening our cities\u2019 public space and people\u2019s ability\u00a0to appropriate such spaces. In addition to regulatory\u00a0enforcement of the built environment, these forces directly\u00a0impact vendors that sell food on the street. Furthermore,\u00a0street food vending is a practice that transcends food and\u00a0evokes conversations of immigration, public space and cultural narratives of its people.<\/p>\n

The street food cart is the physical device for capturing attention and creating agency in the increasingly privatized public realm. In partnership with Vamos Unidos, the street food cart will be the host for an intervention that navigates complex urban ecologies in order for street food vendors to maintain their place on the street.<\/p>\n
