Who has been involved in the project so far?
Throw-n-Sow is a project whose deployment necessarily relies on more that just one person and whose success relies on the contribution of various people. Throw-n-Sow's community is diverse and inclusive - kids, college-age students, inner-city elementary-age youth, workers at various non-profit and NGO offices, mothers and kids, members of native plant societies, artists, toxicologists, botanists, members of Ultimate Frisbee teams, passersby, etc.

Shada/Jahn, Lead Artists
Shada/Jahn (Steve Shada and Marisa Jahn) Marisa Jahn's work explores natural and social systems as a means of engendering moments of intimacy, inquiry, and self-reflection. Ranging in practice from deeply personal to highly participatory, their work often relies on the collaborative authorship and distributive intelligence of surrounding people and situations. In 2000, Shada and Jahn co-founded 'Pond: art, activism, & ideas' (www.mucketymuck.org), a 501(3)c non-profit organization dedicated to showcasing experimental art in the US and abroad. They have presented, exhibited, and curated work internationally, most recently at Bay Area Now 4 (Yerba Buena Center's San Francisco Triennial), the Museum of North Miami, The Moore Space (Miami), Vroom (Istanbul), the Museum of Science (Boston), Mama (Croatia), the Asian Art Museum (San Francisco), New Langton Arts (San Francisco), the San Francisco Art Instutitute, UC Berkeley, Southern Exposure (San Francisco), ZeroOne/ISEA San Jose, and forthcoming projects at the Contemporary Project Space of Sonoma County Museum of Art, The Aldrich Museum, and The Western Front (Vancouver), etc. Shada recently relocated to New Orleans to contribute his skills as a volunteer with Common Ground Relief, a grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to rebuilding the communities most harshly affected by hurricane Katrina. Jahn is currently attending a Masters Program in Visual Studies at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
