it's 4:05 saturday afternoon at the AIR studio on the South Waterfront
its 100 degrees outside, but inside, its cool
even as 6 groups work intently on their garments
Courtney davis is leading a fantastic session
and in 8 minutes
the groups will share what they've made
fabric is held together by wire flags, mesh and streamers lay across models' bodies
and every piece in the room is radically different from every other
all in pursuit of the notion- garment as place, the individual as building block of city
we will post photos soon
A Show / A Public Conversation / A Participatory Civic Planning Adventure
