Sketch-a-move

This is a really interesting little video made by Anab Jain about community building...I am inspired and would like to bring its sentiment to an outdoor installation. Have to figure out what form that the project would take. I like the way the the bright yellow chair and signage engage passerbys to interact with the project and that at its root is really ordinary human kindness. We are generally asked by our everyday interactions to give something--money, our brainspace to consider or want a product--to sign a petition--but, in Anab's project, she is offering a recipe, a song, a chair, a cup of tea--and participants are touched by this offer and curious enough to engage with the project.
