our partners
Touching Land would not be possible without the generosity and dedication of the BKLYN Clay team and its founder, Jennifer Waverek. BKLYN Clay has provided us with clay, firing support and most importantly space and visibility so that these “creative community connections” can happen.
Our partnership began in 2019, during Design Week/Wanted Design Fair at Industry City. CSM created clay vases, chairs and a clay world that provided an opportunity for the community to interact in an artistic way. Touching Land provided the immigrant participants that were integral to this cross-cultural exchange. This imagination-driven interaction, inspired a group of Sunset Park mothers to advocate for a playground for special needs children. New projects coming soon in Spring 2020.
Mofon•GO, the first Puerto Rican pop-up restaurant in the United States.The brand became one of the most recognizable restaurants where Puerto Rican culture can be celebrated through the Island’s national dish, Mofongo. We have partnered with Chef Manolo Lopez, from Mofon*GO to create cooking workshops that will provide a platform for cross-cultural exchanges where decolonizing food can occur while learning our rights!
