On May 12 and 21, you are cordially invited to join members of the the YEAR ONE | SEED LAB for "SPRING INTO ACTION," two days of collective resource generation and creative activation, facilitated by artist-researcher Elæ Moss with interdisciplinary Bennington College students Ulyana Shkel, Parsa Memarzadeh Moshrefi, Lillian Kendall, William Greer, and Abe Dreher.
These hands-on events offer free drop-in zine and open community resource building workshops for all ages as well as performances and interactive project presentations. No previous experience necessary! Participate in the building of a "Memory Archive" out of which songs and art are made! Take part in eco-inflected movement experiments! Or, learn about local flora and fauna, how to get involved in local politics, about the experiences of rural immigrant communities, about building and sharing community health resources, and more!
Also now living at Left Bank is our ongoing Open Resource Library and Zine Exchange!
