Popup Story Patch

June 15 2024

A collaboration with Blue Lab, the Penn Program in Environmental Humanities, and the Morris Arboretum, the Popup Story Patch invited visitors to the arboretum to reflect on and tell stories about their multispecies relationships. Visitors were invited to record stories on video, on postcards, to tell stories in discussions, and to listen to the trees and birds amplified through a microphone.

The postcard station invited visitors to write letters to animals and plants on handmade monoprints, produced by the Blue Lab community through a series of printmaking events that took place on campus over several months. SEE MORE.
