Fallen Fruit's projects invite people to experience their city as a fruitful, generous place, to collectively reimagine the functions of public participation and urban space—to ponder forms of located citizenship, and to explore the meaning of community and neighborhood through creating and sharing new and abundant resources.
in 2021 Fallen Fruit installed a permanent community Fruit Park around the perimeter of the pre-existing community garden in Torrance’s Lago Seco Park as part of TAM’s public art exhibition ULTRA!
Presented as part of the museum’s public art residency project collaboration with Madrona Marsh Preserve and Nature Center.
