Archiving ideas and actions that shape respect and care between people and their living environments

Iki has been documenting people who inspired her through the caring ways that they provide stewardship of the places where they live. In recent years, she begun to see their actions as movement, much like she experiences dancers when she frames and records their movements. Out of that came the idea of “Movements of Today”.

During her time as Associated Artist with Culture Push Iki will be developing a project of recording and archiving people who are taking care of issues to do with clean water and food sovereignty in New York City. Her aim is to develop a sustainable structure to document, produce, and archive water stewards and urban farmers. She also plans to cultivate a platform where the filming and archiving could then generate resources and support for the endeavors of people and groups she is documenting.
