Lava Mae World Toilet Day activities include:

– 826 Valencia-led student writing activities (think: Poop Haikus!)
– Tours of Lava Mae’s well-known and well-loved mobile hygiene Blue Bus.

The Giant Tent Toilet was created by world renowned artist Robin Lasser, who is widely-known for her interactive artworks and Tent Dress series, in collaboration with fashion designer Rachel Richardson and plumber/craftsman Sean Collins.
As viewers step inside the Tent Toilet interior, they will see blue swirls of water and hear accompanying audio of flushing sounds. The soundtrack will also include short reflections and stories from Lava Mae’s homeless guests, discussing the daily challenges of accessing sanitation and maintaining a sense of dignity.
We’d lava for you to join us on Saturday, November 19, and to please share this invitation widely!
