BUILDING A COMMUNITY

In Helsinki, project facilitator and lead artist, Natasha Marin, will reimagine work from her poetry manuscript in-progress MILK within an intimate interactive environment at FORUM BOX GALLERY in Finland.

 

Guests will work closely with Marin and her colleague, Bonnie Brooks, to create a once-in-a-lifetime art ritual that explores what it means to be nurtured in the Digital Age. Why help?

​ 

Everyone can make a difference, but these twelve amazing people in my community pulled together in different ways to make it possible for me to get a flight to Helsinki for the event. Without their help, this project would not be possible:
