Over the course of one month, a team of skilled and unskilled carpenters, builders, architects and motivated volunteers will come together at HSBNE to construct two large-scale effigies ("the Bug", yes a giant insect, and the Temple) for Modifyre 2019: Secret Garden.
Don't have mad build skills? Don't worry - there is always plenty to keep the enthusiastic volunteer busy. It's not all about hammering and sawing. It's also about community. Spend time with like-minded individuals, exercise dynamic design problem solving, share meals, create your own mythology...
Don't forget:
- Tools (hammers, drills, saws, the whole toolbox, etc)
- Safety gear (enclosed footwear, gloves, safety glasses)
- Sustenance (water bottle, plate of food to share)
- Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, protective clothing)
- Burn materials (let us know if you have untreated wood and fasteners)
- An open mind
If you can't make this weekend or commit to the whole project, that's okay. There is another chance the following weekend (June 15-16th) or by being on site at Inglewood (June 24th - July 2nd).
Looking forward to seeing our collaboration come alive!
