When we are in a hurry, we tend to make poor decisions for ourselves, for nature.
But if we slow down, are we making better ones?
To test this idea and get a fair answer, we have decided to slow down through the help of handmade embroidery and also learn from our ancestors: by doing handicrafts while meeting with each other.
SLOW contains 24 flags, crafted in communities around the world, 24 flagpoles, and six burnt "Sysimetsä" trees to hold the space and remind us of the need to slow down from nature's perspective. It also includes benches for contemplation and a maker station: a custom-built frame where new flags will be stitched by the citizens of BRC.
The maker station will be placed on a 256 sq ft platform that is the first phase structure for Ravens Temple (being envisioned and built for Burning Man 2025).
