PUIC 2203 IDC COLLAB: URBAN DYEING

Urban Dyeing introduces students to an ongoing project that emerged from a desire that a group of IDC students expressed. It engages multiple partners to grow plants in the New School neighborhood with a sense of purpose. The class aims to educate about plants, gardening, garden design, public space and participatory models of engagement. In this student driven initiative students are encouraged to collaborate and feed of each other's ideas and initiatives to develop, multiply, diversify or bifurcate from the ongoing project. The class has a very practical and hands on approach; we will be planting plants, harvesting plants, composting, assembling containers for plants. We will also be designing with water, heat and cool as well as dyeing, sewing, selling, sharing and trading.
