KocoGarden 1.0 was open for Koganecho artists in residence to suggest activities, gathering or events they'd like to do.

Ariane hosted a sewing day. There are little mending tasks to do—sewing on a button, fixing a hem—that could be more fun if we did them together. If anyone wanted to learn, Ariane could teach them.

I tried embroidery for the first time. Personally, experiencing the combination of getting practical work done, along with the easy flow of conversation that this kind of work allows had a lasting impact. Sewing, with artists, in conversation became part of my embodied, emplaced and entangled experience of Koganecho. From this experience emerged what would become the Unsanctioned Forms of Caring project.
