“How to Move a Tree” is a collaborative, process-oriented project culminating in a book publication.

 

The project aims to document a group of Maine-based artists manifesting an instructional score in their chosen medium.

 

The score, fashioned as a poetic “how-to” guide, involves a series of instructions that engage ideas of uprooting, transplanting, and finding agency and community.

 

“How to Move a Tree” is facilitated and designed by Picnic Collective (artists Asha Tamirisa and Carolina Gonzalez Valencia). The publication will be launched at a public event in late 2024.
