Seed Reef
A sculpted paper coral reef immersive installation by Emma Difani and Malcolm Zachariah.
Seed Reef is an immersive, sculpted paper installation of a coral reef, created by artists Emma Difani and Malcolm Zachariah, in collaboration with Factory Obscura. Participants will walk “underwater” through the kirigami (cut and folded paper) reef, discovering the beauty and complexity of this unique environment and understanding humankind's impact upon the planet. Artists Malcolm Zachariah and Emma Difani’s artistic partnership formed through a shared love of material, nature, and ecology. Emma will use dye, silkscreen, and woodcut printmaking techniques to create patterns and imagery based on reef life. Malcolm will design, cut, and shape the printed paper to create stationary and suspended kirigami sculptures. Save $2 when you bundle with your Mix-Tape tickets!

Audience Role
Participants are invited to restore Seed Reef by constructing and adding their own corals and other reef animals to the installation. By crafting corals, you are helping seed the reef, bringing it back to a healthy, thriving state. Together, we will reanimate the bleached region of Seed Reef, discovering the beauty and complexity of this unique environment and understanding humankind's impact upon the planet.
