Controversial / Political Art installations in NYC
Throughout time many have viewed art as a simply beautiful sight, although many artists have used art as a medium to express their, somewhat controversial, opinions on the events of society. I am interested in the ways the public react to these "controversial" pieces, as well as the true nature behind them. Focusing in on NYC and the public art scene, there have been many installations that have called for more attention. In 1989, Gran Fury, a collective artist, released a campaign promoting LGBT rights. He continued to fight the government and social bodies that attempted to make the individuals suffering from AIDS and the whole AIDS epidemic “invisible".
Greenwich Village is a student hub, both union square and washing square park act as the ‘campus’ for both college and high school students. This area holds a lot of history and has the reputation for acts of expression.

The West Village & LGBT culture and history
As I am currently a resident in the west village I am very curious to explore the culture and history of the LGBT community. How has this impacted the landscape and development of the west village? How has this affected the commercial goods available in the area?
The west village today is made up of mostly luxury residential properties and retail stores. Its characterized by small tree-lined streets, and little boutiques; it is also maintained its history and remained a hub for the arts.

The Art of Food
NYC overtime has become a huge hub for new and innovative cuisines. As a result of that, and the diversity of cultures in the city, we have seen an increase in the popularity of "street food" and "to-go foods". In my opinion, food, and that gathering for a meal has always been an act in which brings people and communities together. Restaurants, food halls, markets, food festivals, and even street carts are often spaces in which we see many gather and meet. I am curious to investigate ways in which food attracts the public as well as how it shapes the public and their actions. Does the concept of dining present a narrative in itself? How can we use these curated experiences to influence the public and their actions?
