TierrArte
Future visioning is an integral component of the Barrio Innovation approach. Futuring enables youth and community members to imagine desirable futures and the pathways needed to bring about transformative change in their communities. Our team aims to continue using storytelling, art, and sense-based climate education through our TierrArte or ‘(eARTh)' project to paint futures of our historically resilient communities in Phoenix. These communal events aid our process in co-creating future narratives alongside Phoenix residents. Visit our events page to view upcoming eARTh or other organization project events.
Design and Development
Future Building is also focused on supporting the design and development of ‘Resilient and Sustainable Urban Communities.’ Through this project, our efforts support local environmental community initiatives through community outreach and engagement that centers community feedback and collaboration. Our work leads to collective community design visualizations, renderings, and design reports used to enhancing cool corridors, native desert tree and plant canopy coverage, food sovereignty, pollution mitigation, walkability, water conservation, air quality and so much more. We are currently working with the City of Phoenix to build a sombra or shade structure to address and educate about the Urban Heat Island Impact. Read more below.
AZ(LAND) is excited to share that The Phoenix Arts and Culture Department has selected our team for the ¡Sombra! Creating innovative shade as public art grant!
