Blackspace and their partners are putting on ROOTED, a seven-week paid fellowship where youth explore the relationship between urban planning, food justice, and community design. Youth will work with a community garden and use storytelling, visual design, and environmental mapping to understand how land use policies and disinvestment shape food access—and to propose community-based design responses. Through ROOTED, youth will gain awareness of food insecurity and urban agriculture, and help seed the future of food access in Brooklyn; they will share the findings of their projects at two community events this year.
