ECO ART WORK SHOP
Sylvia Rack leads eco art workshops to cultivate the art of noticing; what author Anna Tsing poses as the basis for taking a more modest and nurturing approach to being on the planet.
The workshop is a site specific, intimate look into the biodiversity within our urban neighborhoods.

"The site-specific research brings deeper awareness to urban-space-
users. It's an important element of civic awareness, that ideally will pollinate elsewhere."

"I walk by the garden on a regular basis and had never given it any attention. giving us a handout with a contributive spreadsheet allows us to dig deeper in our relation with the space." -Nathalie
