Dawn Weleski is a co-founder of Conflict Kitchen, an experimental art project in Pittsburgh where food is the medium and political conflict a tool of practice. 

When we talk about cities, it's easy to focus on the macro – systems and networks, infrastructure and industry. But if you zoom in closer you'll find a very different story – one of passionate people working every day to shape a better tomorrow. This is why we're excited to share People Changing Cities, a new series to spread stories of remarkable individuals leading urban change.
