Pruitt-Igoe Bee Sanctuary - A photo, film and website project that explores the land where the Pruitt-Igoe housing project once stood in St. Louis, Missouri. After the demolition of all 33 buildings that comprised Pruitt-Igoe, the remaining empty lot of several acres over time has naturally transformed into an overgrown urban forest. Chavez created the Pruitt-Igoe Bee Sanctuary to encourage public dialogue about the creative uses and possibilities of urban abandonment by confronting history and addressing community issues.
