This week in ITC, groups are starting to build their designs for the Metanoia Block Party this weekend. All of the projects that are being built are constructed out of cardboard. My group has come up with a design for seating that is inspired by the craft of traditional Gullah Geechee quilting. Our design includes 4 chairs, as well as a small ottoman/table that holds a map. The community will use the map to mark out spots where they think it would be nice to have opportunities for community life (parks, retail, recreation, etc.). Another map will be mounted on a wall above the table, and will be used to mark out spots that show where there are community concerns for safety issues. We’re looking forward to wrapping up the build phase and bringing our seats out to the block party to be used by the community!
