This Could Be a Light Kiosk

"Artspace, in collaboration with Designer-Social Innovation Fellow Daniel Pizarro, and Environmental Activist Doreen Abubakar, plan to activate a section of the Farmington Canal Trail in Newhallville known as the Newhallville Learning Corridor (between Starr and Hazel St). Pizarro will lead a team of 8-12 high school students who attend Metro Business Academy and Hillhouse High School in an 8-week design/build workshop to produce a set of handsome cedar kiosks that will be focal points for neighbor organizing and engagement.
