A working morning
Misting lines, drip emitters, grafting benches and overnight logs establish the extension before the larger crisis develops. Its familiar sounds and smells matter because the people working there know what an ordinary day should feel like.
Hana, Lia and Rian Okoro help give the workplace several points of view. The Anders family plot shows how food production also belongs to household life.
