Sanctuary143 has an art crush on Fallen Fruit, another collective of three, based in Los Angeles.  As art activists, the Fallen Fruit-iers “investigate urban space, ideas of neighborhood, and new forms of located citizenship and community” by ahem, picking up the fallen fruits of the neighborhood and passing them along to the community.

They began with the simple task of creating maps of fruit trees growing on or over public property in L.A., and over time their projects have expanded to include Public Fruit Jams (aka communal jam making) and Nocturnal Fruit Forages.  They document these projects and add creative vision, producing eye catching images, videos, and installations that can be seen at museums and galleries including LACMA, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and beyond.

Their goal: to “create new rituals, events, and formats to connect strangers in kinetic and nomadic ways”. We couldn’t have said it better.
