An outdoor play that moves with the audience, for each scene captures the complex friendship between Emerson & Thoreau, and their shared love of nature. Produced with TigerLion Arts.

Initiated by artist Mel Chin in 2006 as an interdisciplinary, artist-driven project to advance solutions to the devastating problem of lead poisoning, the Fundred Project has grown into a national effort powered by the people to raise awareness of the issues of lead and to create a model of engagement and action for lead-safe communities. A Fundred, an individual’s drawing in the form of currency, represents the value of a person’s expression against the invisible threat of lead poisoning that undermines health, intelligence and behavior, particularly in children.

This project is in collaboration with Mel Chin, Queens Museum, No Longer Empty and the people of Flint, Michigan.

Flint Fit is a prototype for action, where Flint’s empty water bottles are transformed into thread, thread becomes fabric, fabric becomes fashion, and fashion gets fabricated right back in Flint. The project, conceived by artist Mel Chin, envisions a creative use of excess material, opportunity, and artistic innovation between Flint, MI; Greensboro, NC, and New York City.
