R-URBAN RECIDENCY 03 / DANIELA DOSSI + SIN COLLECTIV
The flea market organized on Saturday 21st functioned as ideal context to show the preliminary work Daniela and SIN Collective ( Michela, Silvia and Tommaso) have been doing in the last week in Colombes.
A small exhibition and an interactive wall with questions were arranged to collect ideas and start discussing with the residents on both vertical gardens and activities/workshops possibilities at Recyclab.
The ideas include so far: courses for restoring furniture, producing natural cosmetics and cleaning products; learning how to spin wool and weave baskets, making glass objects, organizing multi-languages cafe’, making jams and oriental pastry, drawing fruit and vegetables for real, etc
The outcome of this work has drawn attention on the desire and the knowledge of the community concerning the concept of vertical garden. Particularly, we tried to encouraged their imagination asking people to draw or taking time to think on some topics such us the reuse of waste materials and possible cultivation to fit in, taking advantage of their own ideas.
