The Bioplastic Seed Garden by Yagmur Sil The Bioplastic Seed Gardens provides a new production platform for women and students at Royal College of Art, Kensington. The scheme aims to help women reclaim workmanship, by offering bio-plastic produced from renewable biomass as a new material. It challenges Kensington’s privatisation issue and social status through a production hub presenting a new sense of community. The women initiate the collective through gathering and re-use of food waste, rethinking possibilities of how avocado dye can be used to re-create bioplastic sheets. Inspired by Fun Palace: Cedric Price, the project proposes a series of units within the lattice frame that promote science, craft and tech activities as a catalyst for community engagement.
