Annual Poetry & Pie festival in Powderhorn Park. I created the concept of a takeable and interactive art object for the 10th anniversary of this iconic community gathering. In collaboration with Aegor Ray (words), and Nico Sardinas (screenprinter). I designed the drawings for the words, designed the object, created the beads, and assembled the fidgets. Community members were invited to draw on the flags, making them their own, and take them home.
