 My name is Dennis Redmond-Darking. I live in the South Bronx, Hunts Point area, along with section of the Bronx. My Create Change project is called Good Trade and what it is is changing and exchanging and also questioning the idea of what is valued in my community. So what I'm asking people to do is find something valuable that they feel within themselves or on themselves and trade with items that I've handmade. My project extends with creating avenues for people to look at their community and as far as healthy living, healthy thinking and incorporating ways to meet the needs of this community that the laundry medicine and starting with just health-wise. So I started with the idea of juicing. I actually live two blocks from here. I've grown up in this area so I'm pretty much aware of, you know, the things that are going on, the needs that are that are happening, things that are upcoming. So I kind of feel like my art can take an avenue within these changes that are happening within my community. I grew up with kind of a hate and love with the laundry mat. My mom would send me every holiday so think about Christmas Thanksgiving. Early that morning I'm in the laundry mat washing clothes so the laundry mat became a familiar place. Interacting with each other as a community is not really existing anymore. So I think bringing art within the laundry mat is important and I feel that it brings people together, it brings people talking, it creates dialogue and sometimes I think people don't realize they are experiencing art and and it also pushes the idea of what is art. My goal, what I wanted to do was this project continues as a traveling project and hopefully be able to travel maybe someplace like Florida or maybe Cuba with the items that I have traded and just kind of see this trans happen from items from New York to like a Caribbean island and see the difference of belongings, things and an idea of the understanding of value.
