This Earth Day I’m feeling incredibly grateful for this crew, all the things we’ve learned this semester at @ccs_detroit, and our progress building the Garden Lab for Eco-Creative Futures at @creativebodyinstitute. It’s been a dream to teach this course and incorporate more sustainability into our photography and art-making. The work is never done, and there are many failed experiments along the way, but there is a brighter path ahead as we strive to live in balance with each other and our delicate ecosystem 🌿

Please join us for the pop-up exhibition NEW DIRT this Friday, April 24, 5-8pm at 1144 Pingree Street in Detroit to see work made by the students and their mentors this semester and get a sneak peek of the garden so far!
