1 Stop Family Pop Up @Boogie On The Boulevard!

Boogie On The Boulevard is one of the greatest street events in The Bronx!

There were 5,000 visitors during 2-6pm of the event.

We set three tents among other tents related to health, food and sports. Thanks Rachel!

1. Lactation tent

2. Diaper changing table, Play Yard, Nuts Free table, and Priority seats

3. Healthy Food WS and demonstration tent by Yuki Nagata

Beside the three tents, we also had an art installation by Hiromi Niizeki

This was Yuki’s explanation display about Japanese ingredients for easy and healthy cooking. There were handouts of recipe for cooking at home. 

Yuki showed, explained about garlic soy sauce and gave away sample food that she cooked at site for visitors to taste. There was a WS table people tried to make their own to bring home. Peeling skin of garlic was fun. “Look! I made this! Here is also a tasty sample.”

 This was Hiromi’s POKETTO, an interactive art installation. Many passersby participated in the art project.

She was interviewed to Bronx’s show!

Many visitors used our diaper-changing table. During a toddler was playing inside the Play Area, guardians could participate in our art activities and other events.

You see a shadow of mom who was breast-feeding inside the tent. We were very proud that we could provide private space for many moms.

　

These were Nuts Free table for kids.

Some guardians took a break with our priority seats.

August 26^th

From 2:00- 6:00pm

Place: Grand Concourse between 165 and 166^thstreet, The Bronx

“Absolutely Quick, Easy, and Delicious Japanese Cooking at Home!,” Food workshop and demonstration.

Making their own Japanese food ingredients by peeling cloves of garlics and soaking them in soy sauce. Demonstration of how to cook easy and delicious everyday Japanese food at home, using the same garlic infused soy sauce. 

Guest artist, Yukiyo Nagata, japanese-kitchen.net 

By cooking at home regularly, a family can afford healthier and more nutritious meals, and stretch the limited budget. My dream is to have a food van, which can prepare and offer many different cultures’ home style food at different places, particularly at economically disadvantaged area for free. By tasting unfamiliar food, we can physically experience different cultures (regardless within or outside the U.S.). 

America is getting more segregated by income, culture, religion, and race. The upward mobility in the United States is in decline. When this social system is pulling the citizens further apart and pitting the disenfranchised against each other in order to maintain the wealth of fortunate few, the rest of us have to band together and arm each other with knowledge to survive and prosper in the future. 

When many people can’t (or don’t) cross over to see “the other side”, the food van can bring “the other side” to them in order to satisfy the hunger of body and mind. 

“POKETTO”, participatory public art installation - "If you could find anything you wished in a pocket what would it be? Write it. Draw it. Leave It in a pocket. Read what others said.” 

BringPOCKETS from your precious old clothes! They could be added on the installation.

Guest artist, Hiromi Niizeki www.niizekihiromi.com

Hiromi asks people to stop for a short time and think about what is important to them and why. Participants may respond to the question by drawing, writing and/or creating small pieces of art work to leave in the pockets. 

Both workshops will be flanked by our One Stop accommodations: A private and hygenic lactation space, a diaper changing and potette area, stroller parking, and a play space. We also provide smaller chairs for children to participate in workshops.

Open Call: Artists for an Artst's Tent!

we are pleased to announce this Open Call!
Artists for an Artist's Tent.

We are the One Stop Family Pop Up! Our aim is to help families access and enjoy outdoor events while raising children by providing two tents in public spaces: 1). An artist’s tent that invites community members to engage in interactive art workshops related to family, and 2). A lactation tent + a diaper changing station + priority rest & play area + an information table – accommodations that all families need but are not yet provided in our community. Our awareness initiatives celebrate maternal health and serve to improve access for pregnant women and parents.

BOOGIE at Boogie On The Boulevard !

The Second Art Show and Workshops at Boogie On The Boulevard's outdoor event, The Bronx

August 20th, 2017, 12-4pm

We set up a tent for our information table and pin making workshop. We displayed two big signs that explained our project/history and how to participate in the project.

With the Peek-a-boo, we explained how the world changed when we were pregnant, and asked participants to see the world as a pregnant woman to gain empathy.

Many young men and women, and even elderly men, tried the belly sculpture that weighed 20-lbs; the water bottles inside the sculpture simulated the average belly of a pregnant woman.  

Make Your Own Pin Workshop, 2 ¼” button.

After trying the interactive sculpture, participants wrote their commitment to support pregnant women and new parents in their own languages, and then created their own pins on-site.

At the pilot event we held, 50 people participated in the pin making workshop in four hours. Participants took their pins with them to display on their bags or person while in public to show their ongoing support for pregnant women and families.
