15. INHABITANTS OF THE FOREST

NHABITANTS OF THE FOREST, 2016
It was a very hot summer day. Bear, thorny, hawk and marmot carried in their common nest many colored wild peas, a species rare for the area. They sat around the black fire, cleaned them and kept their colorful and elastic skins aside. The fruits they gathered are kept for the two unique days of summer when all the creatures of the forest will gather to see them cook the famous magic pea black with which they will print on the skins the annual family album of all the hidden creatures of Vovousa forest. Those who did not come, lost the ultimate experience in picking fruit.

This a collaborative workshop with bend.gr, taken place in Vovousa, Epirus, Greece in 2016. Teaching the kids how to print and create imaginary creatures. In 2017, the jury of the Greek Graphic Design & Illustration Awards awarded us with a prize in the Self-publication category for “Posters for friends” came out and hand-printed from the festival.
