The DIRT Project

 

The DIRT Project hosts responsive, experiential, collaborative workshops and installations at public sites. Activities are based in playful excavations of the word "dirt" – as a linguistic token; as a personal and cultural idea; as physical matter in shifting contexts; and as an interdependent, living community, of which we are a part. 

​

These experiences offer opportunities to form physical and psychic connections between humans of all ages with land, both visible and invisible; and to explore together how we might begin to identify and move beyond inherited biases.

​

Customized projects are based in research around commercial food and land norms, Environmental Justice, contemporary mental health issues and regenerative land practices, and facilitated through open-ended creative exploration.
