Bridge 1: Space of Solidarity

 

     

Excerpt from Press Review (Int. Seminar 2 Assignment):

A space where communities are built and strengthened, this beehive-resembling eatery combines rustic and warm coffee house feels with a modern passion for justice and unity. Beehive, a small hexagonal building consisting of multiple entry ways and one big table in the middle encourages and welcomes strangers to gather together and enjoy an intellectual discussion while having a meal prepped, as an act of solidarity. Even the meals are prepared and distributed by those from the community who can join in the conversation while introducing delicious new delights. The beautifully exposed brick walls welcome “vandalism” such as graffiti and markups. Phrases, words, and/or symbols from significant conversations and communities can be permanently engraved in these structures as a way to establish the outcomes and propositions that were gathered within the walls. Opening in smaller and more spacious cities such as White Plains, allows for a spacious and accessible location even for those from bigger cities. With a beautiful glass ceiling containing water, the room illuminates as it is kissed by the sun above, making this space even more comfortable and warm. Bring your passion, voice, and ideas to Beehive and be prepared to meet those just as strong willed as yourself and build a community of solidarity.
