Sweeping Sampsonia Way

MF 14 students sweeping with grass brooms from India.





After discussing Diane Samuel's Mapping Sampsonia Way and
India's caste system, students set out to sweep Sampsonia Way with traditional
grass brooms used in India by those members of the lowest caste.

The dust, debris, & litter was collected and preserved in plastic bags
and used as the basis for a discussion about found objects, narrative art,
and the nature of "what is art?"
