WILD NEIGHBOURS

Citizen Science Artist Residency - Moda Hove 

A year-long arts and science residency designed to help Moda residents connect with both nature and each other.

A unique project to create empathy and community with ALL the other site residents—bacterial, animal, geological and botanical, exploring what Moda looks, sounds and feels like for ALL these >more than> human residents. Led by a creative team of artists, ecologists, and engineers, this is a GIANT creative citizen science project to measure if we can all feel more connected to nature by the end of our year together.
