With Quinn, I’ve been working on a project called Turkeys in Public Space which is about documenting the turkeys that live in and around my neighborhood in Cambridge, MA.

The project involves both a handmade photo zine and a website where people can share their own turkey photos. Here is what the site looks like:

Here is what the first edition of the zine looks like:

The idea is that if people upload their own turkey sightings to the site, they could be included in future editions of the zine.

There is a bit more about the project here; there, we write the following about the project:

Turkeys in Public Space is a community project documenting the wild turkeys of Cambridge and Boston, MA.

Cities — and their roads, parks, and sidewalks — are designed by humans for humans. But we share these spaces with other non-human plants and animals, often without noticing. Wild turkeys are a vivid reminder of that: conspicuous and willing to occupy spaces that were not designed for them, whether on the road, in the park, or strolling down the sidewalk.

This project is a small way to draw attention to these non-human stakeholders in our public spaces.
