All Street Collective: local communities responding to climate change
All Street Collective, a 2024 Street Work Earth participant, is an artist collective and gallery located in the East Village (77 E3rd St.) and Chinatown (119 Hester St.), exhibiting works by emerging and underrepresented artists and hosting programs spanning education, performance, music, and community-building. In connection to its inception as a grassroots organization by born and raised New Yorkers in 2018, the gallery is dedicated to using art as a means to achieve social change and foster connection.
As a 2024 participant, All Street Collective presents Community Climate, an archive of how local communities respond to climate change. Due to its vast scale and universal impact, it can be difficult to grasp how climate change affects individuals, families, and local communities and possibilities for intervention on a more manageable scale. Throughout the day, the Collective will hold workshops where participants can co-create zines and other forms of art about their perspectives on climate change.
Collective members will also conduct interviews and take photographs to contribute to an online archive. This archive is meant to center climate interest on a hyperlocal level, foster hope and a path forward, and provide a template for ways to get involved.
Submissions can also be contributed digitally: https://forms.gle/A2K1UExqhJQpybKw8
