Red Roots News
Happy November
If Red Roots has been looking snazzy lately, it's because the crew has been doing fix-its: caulking leaks in the roof, installing our sign and makeshift gutter (minus a drain spout), building a new utility shelf and zine racks, setting up new computers in the space, and organizing / alphabetizing the lending library.
Who We Are
Founded in 2007, Red Roots is a center for arts and social change located in the South Bronx. Red Roots coordinates a variety of arts workshops, political events and educational resources to help build sustainable, self-determined communities in New York City.
Red Roots is coordinated by the Red Roots Collective, a group of artists and activists committed to transforming NYC from the bottom up. The collective makes its decisions by consensus, and is in the process of finalizing a governance structure that will include collective members, volunteers and participants in Red Roots programs.
Most Red Roots programs are hosted in a commercial loft space run by Can't Afford 'Em Buttons, a worker-run screenprinting and buttonmaking business whose members are also part of the Red Roots Collective.
