Thank you to all 47 Urban Homesteaders who joined us in our 24 hour residence on the sidewalk in front of Union Docs last weekend. From 6 am on Saturday until 6 am on Sunday we enjoyed a steady stream of visitors, who arrived bearing discarded personal items, movies, food, blankets and crafts. We are especially grateful to all the neighbors and passersby who offered commentary and lively discussions about street life, public space, and the utilization of available resources.
We are also thankful to the hurricane Noel for not drenching us, the residents of Greenpoint and Williamsburg for leaving enough junk on the street for us to furnish an entire one-bedroom sidewalk apartment in two hours, and to our wonderful videographers and photographers, including Peter Shapiro, Ricardo Mehedff, Mary Jeys, Francisca Benitez, Levi Stolove and Sereh Nakhost-Karimi.
