Public Word Coining!
Come make some participatory art at MassArt’s Sustainability Incubator in the beautiful, new Design and Media Center!

You are invited to infiltrate the English language by creating new words and imagery to show that humans are a part of nature, not separate from it. MassArt MFA candidate Freedom Baird will introduce the open-content Human Nature Dictionary, then attendees will sit together snacking and cooking up new words and images. No previous word-coining experience required! Art supplies will be available, and you can bring your own as well. Feel free to invite people -- all are welcome! This is a public-word coining and image making! Refreshments will be provided.

The Sustainability Incubator is a spring 2016 interdisciplinary platform for developing and cross-pollinating innovative curriculum and art/design projects at the intersection of social justice, health, and the environment. The Incubator, organized by Sustainability Faculty Fellows Joanne Likitsch (History of Art) and Jane Marsching (Studio Foundation), brings together work by faculty, staff, and students from classes, studios, and offices in a hybrid studio classroom that produces, synthesizes, performs, and activates new ways of engaging the challenges we face in our global culture today.
