YBCA YOUTH FELLOWS: Healthy Corner Stores Project

Подробнее о видео

In 2017/18 YBCA Youth Fellows, in partnership with the food justice group Tenderloin Healthy Corner Store Coalition (THCSC) and neighborhood residents, assisted with the conversion of Daldas Corner Store on the corner of Eddy and Taylor to bring healthier foods to San Francisco's Tenderloin. Throughout the year participating teens took part in art-making workshops led by YBCA teaching artists Sandy Rodriguez and Meryl Pataky to create original artwork and portraits of the store’s owners, patrons, and local residents—leading to marketing interventions that reflect the diverse neighborhood. Under the guidance of the teaching artists, Youth Fellows also worked to replace existing neon signs advertising alcohol, tobacco, and unhealthy foods with new neon signs advertising fruits and vegetables now sold at Daldas.
