Elms as Method is a fictional story written during a three-month artist residency at The International Artists Studio Program in Stockholm (IASPIS) last year. The protagonists are a group of elm trees situated in a public park called Kungsträdgården.

We will read the story and drink organic rose tea together. Following the reading, Michael will introduce the Wanwu Map and welcome readers to participate in a collaborative process.
