Ten Thousand Houses and Hog Head Cheese

How do we reflect past, present, and future stories into the world around us? How does embodying stories into the environment increase a sense of belonging? 

Chapter 510, a made-in-Oakland youth writing, bookmaking, and publishing center, set out to explore these ambitious questions with a group of seven curious high school students in January 2022. Thus began a nine-month exploration of Swan’s Market, an Oakland landmark with a rich history.
