Abstract
The House Life Project (HLP) is a community of artists and residents who use vacant houses to create art inspired by the neighborhood.
This 52-page publication includes written and visual works created by HLP affiliated writers and artists who explored issues of housing, neighborhood change, racial and ethnic discrimination, and community engagement.
This collaborative process was guided by six key themes—history, space, wellness, equity, movement, and change—and resulted in this cultural document, which reflects the personal knowledge, collective experience, and ongoing research of the HLP community.
