WILD NEIGHBOURS

Citizen Science Artist Residency - Moda Hove 

A nine month Artist Residency designed to help Moda residents connect with both nature and each other. This was a unique project to create empathy and community with ALL the other site residents - bacterial, animal, geological and botanical, exploring what Moda looks, sounds and feels like for ALL the >more than> human residents. Led by a creative team of artists, ecologists, and engineers, this was a GIANT citizen science project to measure if we could all feel more connected to nature by the end of our year together.
