Deli Radio Presents: Food Futures + Co-Creations At The Farm

Deli Radio aims to foster connection and shared experiences at a time when communal spaces feel essential. Over the course of two months, Deli Radio will host live recording sessions and broadcast a series of programs most Thursdays-Saturdays that vary from podcasts, live music and dj sessions, to intimate interviews with artists and activists. Check out Deli Radio website for updated programming, to listen to live radio transmissions or archived programs, and to submit your programming proposal to record in studio! 12-1pm: Deli Radio presents Food Futures, a conversation series led by artist Zacarias Gonzalez that examines how urban food systems impact public housing, raising critical questions about access and equity. This episode focuses on food apartheid in New York City: who has access to fresh food and who doesn’t. Joining the discussion are DK Kinard, Garden Coordinator for the Gardens at NYCHA program, a food activist, farm educator, and Farm School NYC alum who leads programs for seniors and special needs communities across the city; and Chantel Kemp, Gardens at NYCHA Manager, food justice advocate, and Hunter College “40 Under 40” awardee, dedicated to expanding green spaces for NYCHA residents. 3-5pm Co-Creations at the Farm, hosted by Madalyn Warren, explores how we connect with our plant family. Marguerite Uhlmann-Bower and the Plant Pioneers share plant responses through hieroglyph photos, audio, video, poetry, and art, capturing their summer 2024 collaboration at East Branch Farms, Roxbury, NY. @eastbranchfarms @margueriteuhlmann @plantpioneers About the Presenters Zacarías González (b. 1984, Cuba) is an artist and filmmaker whose work explores the intersection of art and everyday life as a method for social engagement and challenging dominant power structures.
