FLOCK is a crowdsourced public art installation that is designed and assembled by you!

FLOCK is an activity that invites people from any age-group, background, or skill level to intuitively assemble pre-set interlocking pieces to build an artwork together. There is no right or wrong way to FLOCK, and the outcome is always unique and unpredictable. The artwork created together encourages experimentation, shared ownership and pride.

Anybody can FLOCK, just grab some pieces and get building! You can join and leave at any time, and the artwork continues to grow organically.

FLOCK was created by DesignAware as a part of the Fractals Workshop, and is supported by in5 Design at Dubai Design Week 2024.
