Burncast #010 - Fashioning Community with Ivy

This episode of Burncast features artist and researcher, Ivy, as
she discusses "Fashioning Community" an art project and fashion
exhibit she's developing for Burning Man 2006. According to her
blog, Fashioning Community is: "Inspired by the ideas of 'costume
as art' and traditional costume museum exhibits, the idea is to set
up a dense 'forest' of mannequin figures, each dressed in an
example of a certain aspect of what I have come to find makes up
'Burning Man style.'" But it doesn't stop there. As part of the
overall theme of Dreamtime, the camp with which the project is
affiliated, storytelling is key. Each outfit not only has a Burning
Man story, but a personal one, and usually one that reflects
community. However, as Ivy began to start collecting materials for
this project, she found that the figures the mannequins -- also had
histories and stories of their own to tell. Read more about these
stories on Ivy's blog. For those playing the 3playa Community
Drinking Game at home, it was Ivy's intention to make this episode
of Burncast the most inebriating celebration of community to date.
