show moreFultonia was a health food/supplement shop in Englewood on Chicago's Southside owned by Dr. Alvenia Fulton. Dr. Fulton was one of the first to introduce this idea for a healthier lifestyle to her neighbors and friends in the late 60s. One of these friends happened to be Dick Gregory. The Fultonia project team received a Propellor Fund grant to reimagine Dr. Fulton's Fultonia through a year long series of community meals, community bike rides, exhibitions and a publication during 2014.
Broadly considering contemporary antiquities as it relates to Fultonia, we discuss the importance of not only the reimagining of Fultonia as this work will inform each of the collaborator's practices but also how this contemporary work might have the ability to support Dr. Fulton's original vision.
