Nuestro Barrio is a neighborhood located in a section of Phoenix, Arizona’s largest food desert. This project centers around a community located in a section of Phoenix, Arizona’s largest food desert.
A food desert is defined as a geographic area in which affordable and healthy food, especially produce, is scarce or absent. This is especially apparent in low-income areas. I wanted to capture the relationship between people and the landscape, using symbols of food as a barrier. While many residents voluntarily left Nuestro Barrio due to a relocation program based on demolition, many chose to stay. This investigates a community which refuses to disappear.
Nuestro Barrio es un vecindario ubicado en una sección de Phoenix, el desierto alimentario más grande de Arizona. Este proyecto se centra en una comunidad ubicada en una sección de Phoenix, el desierto alimentario más grande de Arizona.Un desierto alimentario se define como un área geográfica en la que los alimentos asequibles y saludables, especialmente los productos agrícolas, son escasos o están ausentes. Esto es especialmente evidente en las zonas de bajos ingresos. Quería capturar la relación entre las personas y el paisaje, utilizando los símbolos de la comida como barrera. Si bien muchos residentes abandonaron voluntariamente Nuestro Barrio debido a un programa de reubicación basado en la demolición, muchos optaron por quedarse. Esto investiga una comunidad que se niega a desaparecer.
