Red Hook: The Working Waterfront Project

The Working Waterfront Project (2001) used Red Hook, Brooklyn as a case study for exploring the evolving definition of the waterfront labor and development the consumption-driven 21st Century city.

The project involved research into the lives of people who made and make their living on the waterfront, explored how industrial sites and waterfront labor have changed during the last 100 years, and engaged Red Hook residents in discussions about the future of waterfront labor and land use.

The project culminated in a viewing box installation at the Beard Street Pier in Red Hook during the spring, summer and fall of 2001.
