Exhibition Preview: Robert Stephenson's photos chronicle urban ag in NYC

As part of a Fellowship with the Design Trust for Public Space, NYC-based artist Robert Stephenson documented the landscapes and communities involved in urban agriculture projects in New York City. The intent of the photographic catalog is to demonstrate the diversity of urban agricultural approaches that are currently being employed in New York City today and to show how these various approaches all contribute to the common goal of supporting a more sustainable local food system. A number of his photographs will be part of the Amplify Action exhibition.
