Gentyfries

Gentryfries campaign is a community archiving culinary project celebrating the rich history and vibrant cultures of Oceanside and North San Diego County. Gentryfries transforms family stories, photographs and documents into artistic archival records, beautifully wrapped around every serving of crispy fries. Each fry container servs as a vessel of history, offering a delicious and meaningful way for the community to connect with their heritage while engaging in civic action. By highlighting the impact of public policy on housing and displacement, Gentryfries aims to increase awareness and foster a deeper understanding of local history. The campaign creates human connections between past and present neighbors, encouraging compassionate support for policies that prioritize keeping people housed and strengthening the fabric of our community. It invites everyone to be part of a movement that nourishes both body and soul, inspiring us all to build a more connected and just community—one fry at a time.
