NONPROFIT / 2023
Role: Event Production With: External Affairs & Institute for Public Architecture
To kickoff the first dinner in early June, the IPA invited External Affairs to lead Fellows in a collaborative workshop, titled Designing Dinner, which aimed at situating the newly arrived cohort and their projects within the group, the IPA and the Island. "Valuable ways of relating to one another emerged as the Fellows worked collectively to deconstruct methods of cooking, develop new approaches, and host a dinner party for the group as well as a few invited guests."
