Memorial Parkette

Memorial Parkette  was an interactive installation that invited festival-goers to draw-from-memory a plant that they had loved and lost (whether through natural causes or human error) and add it to a community shrine memorializing lost plant life. The project was a playful response to the human impulse to memorialize selectively. The workshop functioned as a means to reflect on human kinship with the natural world, and the need to take responsibility for the stewardship of flora and green spaces.
