Make Me One With Everything is a free public performance
with a musical vending cart based on the sounds and stories of New York
City street vendors. With this project, I hope to draw attention to the
vibrancy of street vendors and celebrate their historic contributions
to city life. Come visit me on Wall Street to learn more!
Wall Street is one of thirty-two streets in Lower Manhattan alone where
vending - including vending typically protected under the First Amendment
- is restricted on certain blocks; those blocks of Wall Street that remain
open to vending are currently under threat. Make Me One With Everything
will stand up for street vending at the birthplace of the American economy,
and will replace a monetary transaction with an artistic one.

Make Me One With Everything is made possible, in part,
by Princess Grace Foundation-USA and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council
with generous support of The September 11th Fund. The project has also
received invaluable support from The Street Vendor Project - a program
of Urban Justice Center , a nonprofit that works on behalf of street vendors
to correct the social and economic injustices they face.
