About the Artist
Peace, my name is Alexander Antonetty, and my power is vision. I'm a 18-year-old Latino mixed photographer and community activist based in Bedford-Stuyvesant, NYC. I work everyday to perfect my craft and to give my community a voice to help young black and brown people like me to make sure we have a say in our future, as I invest heavily in food justice and work with a collective of youth members to spread awareness about common Issues that live in OUR communities.

Artist Statement (Food Justice)
As we conclude each year it signifies the close or end of something more valuable than time...The ability to move forward. Then it's like we hit the reset button, we have a fresh start. The messages that I chose to portray in these documents of light signify my work as a photographer, an artist, a person of color, and a firm believer in food justice in my community. My work will continue to help raise awareness about the rise of food deserts in black and brown communities like Bedford Stuyvesant. As you walk through Bed-Stuy, there's little to no organic fresh food product coming into our City. Obesity and food insecurity are major issues in New York City: These descriptions apply to 56% of the population. As a result, more than half of the population is at risk for various health problems linked to poor weight and diet. Hattie Carthan Community Farmers market STRIVES to Provide all community members with access to locally farmed fresh food, farm culture, and intergenerational agricultural education in a "fresh food desert" neighborhood. My Artistry has been presented throughout this community through cultural events linked to Hattie Carthan, With my first project being "seeing green." And it showcases my photos throughout the year of different foods and vegetables, activities including harvesting, and events. The market achieves its objectives through supporting community-based cultural activities and initiatives that promote human potential and cooperative economics, according to hattiecarthancommunitymarket.com. I plan to envision and show a community where collared people can access fresh, healthy foods. I want the people of Bed-Stuy to be aware that the Hattie Carthan community farmers market plans to provide the medicine this community needs.
