INDEPENDENT STUDY | Fall 2020

With the intention of fostering student-driven engagements with Land Lab, we are making key documents, valued readings, and group creations from independent studies “open source.” It is our hope that students interested in independent or collective studies at Land Lab are able to build upon previous proposals, or otherwise use these documents to jumpstart their work. And then, ya know.... share their guiding documents and rad findings here as well....

Collective Zine 


In place of a final pin-up, we all gathered at Milton with printed copies of our independent work, process work, and collective work along the way. Through collaboratively making a zine, we were able to reflect on our work in a generative and collective manner.

A teaser... sample pages from the zine.
