Every first Saturday of every month in 2013, I plan to hold a Brooklyn Torch Trade Store at my studio in Greenpoint. If you’re around, you should come:
50 Dobbin Street (between Berry and Norman)
Brooklyn, NY 11222
Mary: What is your favorite thing about your neighborhood?
Sinema: I love that there are many places, such as churches, parks and community centers, for the youth to hang out after school.
My conversation with Sinema White, a resident in this year’s Laundromat Project Create Change Residency has just been posted. Read the full conversation.

In 2011, Macktez granted me a Summer Stipend to document my monetary exchanges in North Brooklyn. The project was a piece of the overarching Brooklyn Torch Project, but was specifically designed to use special film and to follow my own spending habits. Thank you to Macktez, you can see the photos here.
