We’re embarking on a special journey...to a special place.
Destination: Somewhere between here and there
Date: Sometime between the past, present, and future
Departing from: Everywhere and nowhere in particular
But wait…
What shall we pack for our trip?
What objects are essential?
What stories would our objects tell about our journey and destination? How would they narrate the place we came from, our histories? What would we name them? What would they say about our urgency to invent ways of inhabiting the future?
Grab your bag, it’s time to go.
Are you ready?
