A Sign of the Times: Preserving Community Identity in the Bronx


A Blade of Grass Fellow Ronny Quevedo facilitated Higher Sails, a design workshop for Bronx teens who developed a new visual identity for Mott Haven neighborhood restaurant La Morada. The workshop allowed youth participants to contribute to the visual culture of their neighborhood and provided a platform for the restaurant to express and preserve its role as an organizing site and cultural anchor in the South Bronx.
