Birds’ Farm Project
The Bird’s Farm is a Participatory art project that has a critical orientation towards the fur industry in the world. This project aimed to engage audiences from different sectors of society with this move and raise social awareness about this issue. This project was a collaboration between the participants and me, and I engaged them in creating the artwork. In this act, I told the participants about the fur and leather industry, instructed them how to make an origami bird, and introduced them to the installation art. On the origami papers, the pattern of different animal skins was printed.
I first conducted this project at Merenkurkku school in Vaasa, Finland, then Ingolstadt, Germany, and Tehran, Iran.
