Snapshot of St. James
Snapshot of St. James is a 3-part series of community activations aimed at engaging residents at a pivotal transition point for a historical, and yet highly neglected, downtown park in San Jose. The project will celebrate the park’s past, amplify its present, and explore its future. The series will engage long-standing natives who can speak to its history, engage community voice from stakeholders who are invested in both seeing the park revitalized and in reclaiming its history as a gathering space, and partner with a landscape architecture firm to literally walk the community through its future.
