What is the Living Barge?
The Living Barge Project was a large-scale, temporary public art installation by artists Sarah Kavage and Nicole Kistler that was moored on Seattle’s Duwamish River during April 2006. An industrial barge was filled with native plants, creating a temporary floating island full of ferns, shrubs and tree seedlings. At the end of the project, volunteers planted the plants from the Living Barge at Cesar Chavez Park in South Park. THANKS to everyone who helped make this project a success! We wanted to use this project to create a lasting, positive dialogue about the history and future of the Duwamish and the neighbors and businesses that surround it, and raise citywide awareness. If you volunteered or participated in the events in April, help keep the Duwamish Cleanup a priority with the city and the EPA! Here’s the latest on how you can help.
