Blanket Forts

Blanket Forts

How do the spaces we inhabit inform our individual and collective identity? How might immersive, aesthetic experiences change the way we relate to each other? What affect might this have on decision-making? 

In August of 2018, my colleague María José Giménez and I launched Blanket Fort Community Potluck–an experiment in community development and network weaving in Easthampton, Massachusetts.

Our ambition is to establish a community dialogue around the role of aesthetics in civic engagement and political decision-making.
