Many thanks to Kelly Creedon for putting together this beautiful video of last Fall's Public Kitchen event.
Inspired by the family kitchen as a gathering place, the second prototype of the Public Kitchen invited Upham's Corner and Dudley Street residents to feast, learn, share, imagine, unite and claim public space. Hundreds joined us as the Public Kitchen launched a week of fresh food, cooking classes & competitions, a mobile kitchen and Hub, food-inspired art and much more…
Public Kitchen was an intervention aimed at social and food justice-- an experiment in how more vibrant public infrastructures can improve the quality of our lives. Our art and design team included Chef Nadine Nelson of Global Local Gourmet and the Golden Arrows design collective. Many thanks to our community partners : Upham's Corner Main Street, The Food Project, Shirley Eustis House, Haley House, Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative and City Growers. And to our funders: The Praxis Project's Communities Creating Healthy Environments initiative, ArtPlace and The Boston Foundation.
