This project investigates Boundaries that are propagated and dismembered first in Tompkins Square Park, and then throughout the East Village and New York’s second city council district. The delicate balance between boundaries, which form subcultures, and common space, which allows these cultures to clash or coalesce gives the opportunity for a transference of power from the few to the collective. Decision-making by the collective, in a dialectic trending towards equity, may lead to the repair of social and economic wounds that characterize the current urban condition.
