Twins on a farm is an interactive flip book seeking to rethink mediums for action as presented in (environmental) education. Moving beyond the epoch of recycling, bake sales, and fundraisers, this tool pairs playful personhood, and current socio-environmental issues, with alternative methods for change.
Visually stimulating and conceptually abstract, this work is designed as an ongoing project in thinking beyond the constraints—what can we do that we cannot yet imagine?
Belonging to your own imaginaires, this project functions as an ongoing and limitless invitation for play a new reference for how we understand our citizenry; and ultimately, how we build our democracies.
