How does what we make change when we don’t have electric tools? In an age of uncertainty when we may experience environmental disaster, how do we band together to make the things we need to survive, in a world where we are not able to use electricity? What are the technologies we need to continue? Through community-focused building, and old woodworking techniques, A Gathering Table is an attempt to find the way we used to construct our lived environments, and learn whatever useful things we can from it. The goal of this table is to provide a physical place to discuss how we move forward as a culture - away from mass-produced consumerism and wasteful, non ecological practices. As we weather the crises of today, only by coming together (safely) as a community can we hope to change the world for the better.
