"Silence in the City": Co-Coquí

Click here to listen to the theme song of our episode "An Oasis in the City." This story centers around the Coquí frog puppet activists built to protect community gardens from Rudy Giuliani's administration's attempt to destroy these green spaces in the late 90s. We produced this episode with a 10-session podcast workshop with youth and older adults at the @centerforwellbeing.nyc and @girlsclubny in the fall of 2023. During these workshops, the girls honed their podcasting skills and delved into a creative process to produce their own episode by interviewing two elders from the East Village who played pivotal roles in the late 90s struggle to preserve the neighborhood gardens from destruction.  Visit our website.
