Bodega Down Bronx
06/03/08
In the Bronx, bodegas are a way of life. But who chooses what the bodegas sell? And where do all those chips come from? This past semester, students from New Settlement’s Bronx Helpers and CUP teaching artist Jonathan Bogar ín have been investigating bodegas in the Bronx. The group interviewed bodegueros, visited their suppliers, and met with government officials, health professionals, and alternative Bronx food establishments. They’ve made a documentary to pass along what they’ve learned. Please join us at the world premiere of Bodega Down Bronx at The Point. Tuesday, June 3, 7 pm. The Point. 940 Garrison Avenue
Bronx, NY. 6 to Hunts Point Avenue. Free and open to the public. Seating is limited, please RSVP to info@anothercupdevelopment.org

MPP call for designers
05/19/08
CUP is pleased to announce that the Making Policy Public call for designers is now open. Making Policy Public, CUP’s new collaborative series of publications, uses innovative graphic design to explore and explain public policy. Our distinguished jury has selected advocates’ proposals for the next issues of Making Policy Public. We are now seeking designers to collaborate with these advocates to illuminate the issues. Designers chosen through the juried submission process will receive full attribution for their work, an honorarium of $1000, and publicity through CUP.
To apply as a designer or to see the 2008 policy briefs, visit the Making Policy Public website:
