In the summer of 2024, Esther traveled to Colombia to explore what could be learned about a community's health based on the vitality of its social infrastructure and the perspectives of community members. Esther was inspired by the idea of placemaking, a movement that reimagines public spaces as the heart of every community in every city, as well as by NYU Sociologist Erik Klinenberg's research on social infrastructure. Esther finished the capstone with a public art showing and a published Storymap that included qualitative elements such as personal communication, photography, and storytelling.
