"Spot Reservation" Public Art Project by Daniel R. Smith (Swinomish)

About this event

Spot Reservation , Swinomish artist Daniel R. Smith’s newest participatory public art project, is a free event he describes as an “Indigenous, celebratory occupation of the University of Washington.” Taking place Thursday, November 5, from 11:00am – 3:00pm, the project transforms UW Bothell's central plaza into an unexpected gathering place centered around participatory art making in a tiny forest, or “nanoforest,” of native plants growing from industrial oil barrels. Featuring photo portraits with costumes and wearable taxidermy in a tiny post-apocalyptic forest, fry bread tacos, live birds of prey demonstrations, and an open mic; all free and open to the public.
