our collective fabric // the microbiome (OCF) creates a place where participants can discover their own microbiome and explore the way it can connect with our individual and collective health.
The photographs above document a class of students who were asked to collaboratively and collectively streak a 3x3 foot agar plate. Together this group creatively streaked their microbiome together and discussed what they expected to see after two weeks of growth. This was done in parallel with a take home kit, giving participants the ability to create a more intimate fabric by themselves or with a loved one, which you can learn more about here.
