"NYCHA's Flowers" Community Space at Public Housing Sites
In 2023, we awarded the Photo Urbanism Fellowship to NYCHA resident Latricia Morgan to document community at New York public housing campuses.
Latricia’s project worked in tandem with Green Space Connections, a collaboration with the Public Housing Community Fund and the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) to create and activate community-designed green space at four NYCHA public housing developments for 14,000 residents in Brooklyn and the Bronx.
The "NYCHA's Flowers" exhibition was on display June 18 - July 18, 2024 at the Bronx Council on the Arts
Latricia Morgan
2023-2024
Latricia Morgan also known as “The Artsy Plug“ (B.1996) is a New York-based artist, born in The South Bronx, New York City.
Her digital hugs come in the form of photographic art. Her practice explores the unique complex identities of underdogs within the Queer BIPOC artist realm by highlighting the attributes that make them special. She started taking photographs to uplift her personal self esteem and ended up sharing this gift of art with her community. She uses photographic imagery to reveal the beauty that lives within and vulnerability we may suppress. She creates memories, documents change, and captures greatness.
Her work has been featured in publications such as Refinery29, Unbothered, and more. Morgan is a photography studio owner, Education and Teaching artist in her community, and volunteers with young adults once a month. Morgan Holds a BA in Arts Management with a minor in Photography from SUNY Purchase.
