[1] These are useful items for public creativity and general need, such as self-service libraries and junk drawers. They are made from discarded objects and materials, using MOBILIZE: The Wandering Workbench. The term “Public Domestications” was coined in collaboration with Huong Ngo. A map will be made available at Cue Art Foundation.
[2] Edible plants are abundant in the neighborhood. You are welcome to join in seeking them out and/or eating them. The teas will be served with the help of MOBILIZE: The Portable Pantry.
