Join us for The Golden Hour: Good Neighbor Chats, an ongoing series where neighbors gather over food and conversation. This session, we're building a pyeongsang together, led by Jeffrey Yoo Warren, a Korean American artist, educator, and community scientist whose work centers ancestral craft practices and community-rooted storytelling.

This build is one of the activations we're prototyping with support from DS4SI, as we explore food, care, and conversation as a pillar of belonging, showing up for our neighbors even before our physical building exists.
