overview...
Weekly events (four Sundays in July) include a series of presentations by local experts on each of the four animal clients, and the Estates that can be made for them. These are followed by animal related activities/workshops involving sound, movement, garments, and writing. A geodesic tent in the museum serves as the local Animal Estates headquarters, containing information on the project and serve as the site for the weekly events. Printed materials about the project are available at the museum, including the San Francisco Animal Estates Field Guide, a poster announcing the project, and a series of postcards on each animal. Instructions on how to build the estates are made public, encouraging local residents to make their own version of the model homes on their own private property. For the San Francisco edition of the project, four local animal clients were selected (go to FULL SCHEDULE)...
