Interactive Pieces

The ephemeral nature of the District and its constant churn of new residents means that there are always opportunities to create new traditions that can have a lasting impact. Through collaboration of community members and neighborhood organizations an art piece could be commissioned that adds visual interest and creativity to the student core of the District (or other areas) and also allows for the creation of a new interactive and low impact tradition. Shown below are Bahia bands of Salvador, Brazil. A tradition started by tying bands to an area church fence for good health, fortune, friendship, etc. Each band color represents a different wish.
