Thank You, Garden

C/O Digital, Berlin, 2022

To wrap up the P2P Distributed Web of Care Residency, resident Nami Kim and I facilitated an HTML, CSS, and JavaScript workshop at the C/O Digital Festival in Berlin.

Thank You, Garden is a collaborative webzine in the form of a digital community garden inspired by the warm, collective space held for us by our hosts, Taeyoon Choi and Barbara Cueto, and fellow P2P residents.

Featuring Thank You letters to each other, and projects of the hosts, residents, and participants of the workshop, the idea was to create a collective, handcrafted webpage with our manifestation of a more caring, intimate internet. The workshop’s title is taken from the children’s book of the same name by Liz Garton Scanlon that celebrates the act of growing and cultivating gardens as a community.
