Introduction

A SOCIOGRAM IS A PARTICIPATORY activity that helps to identify community relationships and potential stakeholders, mapping the social network as a complex and interconnected system. In the context of Voces Ciudadanas’ campaign to keep the Interim Sunset Park Library as a resource in the community, a three hour community workshop was organized in order to identify potential collaborators, allies, and supporters that could help realize this goal.

The workshop took place at Voces Ciudadanas on Saturday, February 4th, 2023, and involved the participation of several neighbors, civic groups and community organizations active in the neighborhood. This event was facilitated by Voces Ciudadanas in collaboration with students and faculty from the MS Design and Urban Ecologies Program (DUE) at Parsons School of Design.

This document offers a description and analysis of the Voces Ciudadanas sociogram workshop. Its purpose is to help transfer and curate knowledge co-created with, by, and for the communities of Sunset Park.
