Moveable Feast: Fresh Produce and the NYC Green Cart Program
Mar 22 through Jul 10

Moveable Feast: Fresh Produce and the NYC Green Cart Program
documents an innovative NYC Department of Health and Mental
Hygiene program that provides underserved communities with
access to fresh fruits and vegetables via hundreds of independently
owned, mobile produce stands known as Green Carts. The exhibition
features new photographs by LaToya Ruby Frazier, Thomas Holton,
Gabriele Stabile, Will Steacy, and Shen Wei, who were commissioned
by the Aperture Foundation to chronicle the initiative over the course
of a year.

The resulting photographs, in styles ranging from portraiture to
landscape to street photography, capture not only the carts themselves,
but also the stories of the vendors, customers, and their communities.
Moveable Feast invites consideration about the geography of food
options and its relationship to a community’s health.

Moveable Feast: Fresh Produce and the NYC Green Cart Program
was organized by the Museum of the City of New York in
collaboration with Aperture Foundation, a not-for-profit organization
devoted to photography and the visual arts.

Moveable Feast: Fresh Produce and the NYC Green Cart Program
is made possible with the generous support of the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund.

Additional support has been provided by Kodak.
