Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC), in collaboration with A+A+A, will activate Tompkinsville Park as a community asset to uplift the richness of Afro-Caribbean culture through food, art, dance and music grounded in the memories of ancestors. They will launch a food and spice market that brings visibility to Black, Afro-Caribbean, and Latinx communities in Staten Island.
@statenislandurbancenter6505 is a community development through community involvement organization, lifting the voices of Staten Island’s most marginalized and vulnerable communities experiencing social, environmental and criminal injustices. Their community-centered work is grounded in the pursuit of cultural equity, thrivability, self-determination and independence.
A+A+A is Andrea Chiney, Ashely Kuo and Arianna Deane. They are a multidisciplinary design and architecture studio committed to making places more inclusive, collaborative, and joyful.
This project is supported by the Local Center, a community design initiative that equips local leaders with the technical assistance, funding and connections to re-envision public spaces. The Local Center is a collaboration between Urban Design Forum and the Association for Neighborhood and Housing Development.
