I WISH THIS WAS…
|
Inspired by vast amounts of vacant storefronts in New Orleans, Candy Chang began the “I Wish This Was…” project in an attempt to get people activated in the future of their community. “Responses ranged from the functional to the poetic: I wish this was… a butcher shop, a community garden, a bike rack, an affordable farmer’s market, an Ethiopian restaurant, a place to sit and talk, Brad Pitt’s house, real soul food, a dancing school, full of nymphomaniacs with PhDs, a source of tasty healthy food I could afford, my art gallery, a bike shop, a taco stand, Heaven. It’s a fun, low-barrier tool to provide civic input onsite, and the responses reflect the hopes, dreams, and colorful imaginations of different neighborhoods.” You can purchase these stickers online and start a movement in your community. More information and examples can be found on Candy Chang’s website.
