Synergies
Synergies encompassed a wide range of activities intended to forge alliances and detonate creative action with an impact on the neighborhood’s imagination--generating citizen consensus for local benefit. Likewise, Synergies facilitated mutual aid initiatives and networks of economic and professional collaboration.
The mutual aid initiatives included diverse fields of action and frameworks of collaboration--from graphic redesign of local businesses’ shopfront shutters, to exhibitions at the Geology Museum, to the installation of community gardens, among others. The fundamental objective of this platform was to energize the neighborhood’s social life, and the social efficiency and benefits that are provided as services within the neighborhood.
