Abandoned Materials - Participant Analysis

As participants of the Abandoned Materials Market, our understanding of this concept overall was us as consumers being educated about means of conservation and the alternative use of abandoned things such as general house waste.  

The initial atmosphere and pace of the market was very friendly and controlled with accompanied music playing at the markets entrance and each booth displaying great aesthetics. One aspect that really stood out was how tangible all of the market booths were; everything required us to engage.


Another theme that stood out throughout most of the stalls was the message of the market as a cohesive whole. Most of the markets were set up so that the market runners would give every participant a quick rundown of their booth and voice their awareness for waste and means to manage and utilize this daily as consumers.  

Regarding the system of exchange, every group executed a very physical approach to providing the participants with something to take away for their individual markets. Examples of this were, recycled seeds, wallets made of paper and fresh juices made from scraps.  

Overall the Market addressed the theme of abandoned materials to a very articulate degree by educating the participants as to how to deal with waste with conservation in mind.
